Medical Dialogues recently reported that a 26-year-old medico from the Department of Anaesthesia at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) allegedly committed suicide after administering an overdose of anaesthesia medication to himself. His body was found inside his room at the university's Sushrut Hostel, located on the sixth floor. Police recovered a cannula and medicines beside his body.

A three-page suicide note was recovered from the room in which the doctor apologised to his parents and sister, expressed regret over being unable to fulfil their expectations, and asked them to take care of one another. He also reflected on his personal struggles, saying he had spent his life running away from reality. In the note, he urged people to be kind to others, not mock anyone's suffering, and to remain grateful for what they have before bidding farewell to the world.
