Junagadh: A 48-year-old woman receiving treatment for mental health concerns died after allegedly jumping from the seventh floor of Junagadh Civil Hospital on Monday morning. Police have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.
The deceased was identified as a resident of the Daulatpara area of Junagadh. According to a statement given to police by her 25-year-old son, she had been undergoing treatment for mental health issues for the past seven years and frequently experienced severe anxiety.
