Based on the allegation, the police have registered a case against the doctor, saying the matter is being investigated from all possible angles.
According to a police officer, the woman seemed emotionally distressed during her last phone call with her family.
They failed to establish contact with her after that phone call, he added. The woman’s father, subsequently, reached Dehradun but was unable to find her either at her place of residence or at the medical college, the official said.
She was eventually found unresponsive inside an abandoned car. One of the vehicle’s windows was smashed to retrieve the woman. She was then rushed to a hospital, where she was declared dead.
In an official statement issued by her college, the institution has claimed that the woman was long under treatment for a mental health condition and that she had attempted suicide in the past.
The college said the aforementioned suicide attempt was made on December 31 last year and a written acknowledgement of her adverse mental health was submitted to her department by her guardians.
