However, before killing himself, the medico recorded a video and sent it to his friends stating that he was betrayed in love. The deceased, a resident of Balasinor in Mahisagar district, was pursuing his medical education in the Philippines. As the medical college in the Philippines was closed, he had returned to his native town.
