The family of the 28-year-old woman doctor who allegedly died by suicide in Satara district this month claimed on Thursday that there were discrepancies in the autopsy report and demanded a probe into the case.
The doctor, hailing from Beed district in the Marathwada region of central Maharashtra and posted at a government hospital in Satara, was found dead in a hotel room in Phaltan town on October 23.
“The autopsy report mentioned that the time of death was around 11 p.m. If we were informed about the death around 8 p.m., then when did her death actually take place?” said Prashant Munde, a cousin of the doctor. The post-mortem report mentioned the cause of death as asphyxia, indicating that the doctor had died by suicide.
Custody extended
During the day, a court in Phaltan extended the police custody of the accused – suspended Police Sub-Inspector Gopal Badane and software engineer Prashant Bankar – by two days till November 1.
