Mumbai, May 26
The Mumbai police have booked three women doctors attached to the state-run BYL Nair Hospital for allegedly driving a junior tribal colleague to suicide. An FIR has been registered against doctors Hema Ahuja, Bhakti Mehare and Ankita Khandelwal for allegedly mocking Dr Payal Tadvi, an ST student, in person and on WhatsApp groups. Dr Tadvi hanged herself to death at her hostel room on May 22, the police said.
Officials at the Nair Hospital said all three doctors who allegedly harassed Dr Payal have been suspended. The three women, who were pursuing MD degrees, are now on the run and the police are on the lookout for them.
“They have switched off their mobile phones, but we are questioning their families and will soon find them,” a police official said. The three allegedly escaped from the hostel as soon as the police arrived to investigate the case, sources said. — TNS
