Month later, no headway in doctor suicide case

Rohtak, July 17

More than a month after Dr Omkar, junior resident and student of MD (paediatrics) course at the PGIMS, committed suicide by hanging himself in his room at the doctors’ hostel, there is no headway in police investigation.

The police had registered an FIR under Section 306 (abetment of suicide) against the head of department (HoD) of paediatrics on the basis of a complaint lodged by fellow students and colleagues.

Another FIR had been registered against the MD students who vandalised the house of the HoD and assaulted members of her family after the death of Dr Omkar on the night of June 13.

Sources said the deceased had not left any suicide note and the MD students on whose complaint the FIR had been registered against the HoD were not coming forward to get their statements recorded, due to which the case was not making progress. —TNS
