Another Medico from SV Medical College Commits Suicide
Vijayawada: While the campus of Sri Venkateswara Medical College is grappling with the aftermath of the suicide of PG medical student, Dr Shilpa, another medico at the college committed suicide.
A girl MBBS student of Sri Venkateswara Medical College in Tirupati committed suicide on Sunday, the second such incident in a week, police informed.
Gitika, 19, was an MBBS second-year student. She ended her life by hanging at her house here in the evening, police said. The reason for her suicide is not known.
She was discovered by her mother Haritha Devi in her residence, who found the medico hanging from the ceiling. With the help of neighbors, Geethika was shifted to Ruia hospital, where doctors declared her dead. The district collector, however, came out in public and stated that she committed suicide " due to purely personal reasons", reports the New Indian Express
The incident came a week after the suicide of B. Shilpa, a postgraduate student in paediatrics, who hanged herself at her house in Pileru town of Chittoor district.
The 30-year-old student had in April written to Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan, accusing three Professors of Pediatric Department of sexual harassment.
