According to a recent media report in The Free Press Journal, the medico was under a lot of stress for the past couple of months due to her academics and was worried about her third year exam results. She was receiving a treatment for the same as well.

The deceased has been identified as a 29-year-old MBBS doctor pursuing MD on Anesthesia from civic-run King Edward Memorial (KEM) Hospital.

The third-year PG medico returned to her house at around 3:30 p.m. and went to her bedroom on Thursday. Her mother who herself is a doctor also returned by the evening and asked the house help about the whereabouts of her daughter. She informed her that the medico was in her room. When the doctor went to meet her daughter in her room, she found her lying unconscious inside the room.
