NEW DELHI: A 31-year-old resident doctor atLady Hardinge Hospital allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling of her Dilshad Garden house on Sunday. Dr Smita Rani did not leave a suicide note but police said she might have ended her life due to marital discord.
Dr Rani's husband, Dr Fazal, is on the run since her death. "We have registered a case under sections 306 (abetment to suicide) and 498A (cruelty to married woman from husband or his kin). Efforts are on to arrest him," said Sanjay Jain, DCP northeast district.
The couple, who followed different religions, married two years ago after falling in love. But differences arose between them soon afterwards, and they had filed for divorce. Their case is pending in a Karkardooma court.
Before ending her life, Dr Rani reportedly called up her sister and told her about her intent to commit suicide. By the time the sister reached the house, the doctor had already hanged herself. She was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.
In her FIR, the sister has claimed that Dr Rani was harassed by Dr Fazal, who wanted her to convert for better compatibility.Link: Doctor ends her life
