No suicide note was recovered from the scene, Patha said.

“We were notified by the facility late on Saturday night that a woman doctor had died by suicide in the hostel. A police team found Raghuvanshi’s body hanging in her room,” he said.

He said the doctor hailed from Ashoknagar district, and her family was immediately informed. Her body was sent for post-mortem, Pathak said, adding that the police have seized her mobile phone for the probe.
