A 20-year-old student from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, was found dead in her room at the Karmahati ESI Hospital’s staff quarters in North 24 Parganas district on Friday night. The woman, a second-year MBBS student, had been living with her mother, who works at the hospital. Authorities stated that they are still investigating the cause of her death.
According to police, the woman’s body was discovered by her mother after she failed to respond to repeated calls while on duty. Concerned, the mother returned home and, with the help of nearby residents, broke into the quarters. No suicide note was found at the scene, and a case of unnatural death has been registered.
A post-mortem was conducted at the local Sargar Dutta Hospital, but police have found no suspicious circumstances so far. The student’s father, a bank employee based in Mumbai, rushed back after hearing the news. Police have since questioned the parents and the woman’s classmates at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
