A tragic incident has occurred at the Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) in Delhi, where a postgraduate medical student was found dead in her hostel room. The deceased, a 25-year-old female student pursuing her MD in Pharmacology, was discovered lifeless by her colleagues on Tuesday evening.
According to reports, the student was residing in the ladies' hostel on the college campus. Her fellow students alerted the authorities after she failed to respond to repeated knocks on her door. Upon forced entry, her body was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
The Delhi Police have initiated an investigation into the matter, and a team from the Hari Nagar police station has been assigned to probe the circumstances surrounding her death. The police are scrutinizing the student's phone records, social media accounts, and talking to her friends and batchmates to uncover any potential clues.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the student was under stress due to her studies and personal issues. However, no suicide note or farewell message was recovered from the premises. The police are exploring all possible angles, including academic pressure, personal relationships, and mental health concerns.
The MAMC administration has expressed shock and grief over the incident. College authorities have assured cooperation with the investigation and are providing support to the student's family.
This incident highlights the growing concern of mental health issues among medical students, who often face immense academic pressure, long working hours, and high expectations. The medical fraternity is calling for increased support systems and counseling services to address these issues.
The Delhi Medical Council has also taken note of the incident and is planning to initiate measures to promote mental well-being among medical students.
The police investigation is ongoing, and the exact cause of death will be determined after the post-mortem report and further inquiry.
In the meantime, the medical community and MAMC alumni are mourning the loss of a young and talented doctor, whose life was cut short under tragic circumstances.
