Doctor shot dead
Telangana- In an unfortunate incident, a young Telangana-based medico in the Philippines was recently found dead under suspicious circumstances in her hostel room.
The medico was identified as Snigdha, a resident of Medak district in Telangana. She was 20 years old and was pursuing her 2nd year of MBBS at the University of Perpetual Help-System in the Philippines. She went to Manila, Philippines two years ago to study MBBS.
The incident came to light when her classmates went to her room after midnight to wish her on her birthday and found her lying unconscious on the bed. They tried to wake her up but unfortunately, she did not respond. Seeing Snigdha in this condition, they immediately took her to the hospital, but she was declared dead.
After getting to know about Snigdha's death, her classmates immediately informed her father Rao.
Speaking to the HT, the father said “We do not know what exactly had happened. In fact, today was Snigdha’s birthday. We received a call from one of her classmates at around 3.30 am saying that she was no more”. “She was always a bright and brave woman and a hardworking student. We do not know yet the exact cause of death”, he added.
Meanwhile, concerned about the tragic incident, Rao has appealed to the Indian government to assist in ensuring a thorough and transparent investigation into his daughter's untimely death in the Philippines. He has also requested the Indian government to take up the matter with the embassy officials and ensure that his daughter's body is brought back to India as soon as possible.
The Medical Dialogues team had previously reported about a medical student in Chennai who allegedly committed suicide in his hostel room near Porur in Chennai. He was a medical student studying in a private medical college in Chennai.
