“A woman doctor committed suicide. A note was found written on her palm naming two people, including a police official. A case has been registered against them under charges of rape and abetment to suicide. The accused PSI has been suspended from duty. Our teams are trying to locate the two accused. A thorough probe and stringent action will be taken,” the Satara SP told reporters.

“There was a lot of police and political pressure on her to make wrong post-mortem reports. She tried to complain about it. My sister should get justice,” news agency ANI quoted her cousin as saying.
“The accused should get the strictest of punishment,” demanded another relative of the deceased doctor.
