Family Doubts Doctor's Suicide, Demands Justice
3 Apr
Summary
- A 32-year-old doctor was found dead at her husband's residence.
- Her father claims she would not commit suicide and suspects foul play.
- A high-level inquiry is underway, with autopsy results pending.
A cloud of suspicion hangs over the death of 32-year-old Dr. Minaben Vijaybhai Maru in a Gujarat village. She was discovered at her husband's residence, with initial police accounts indicating suicide by hanging. However, her father has formally challenged these claims, prompting an inquiry involving the Revenue Department.
Dr. Maru, a qualified medical professional who served during the Covid-19 pandemic, had recently resigned from her government post. Her father expressed strong doubts about the suicide theory, citing her education and experience, and alleged ongoing domestic issues.
He recounted a distressing call from his daughter followed by news of her death from her in-laws. Authorities are awaiting a panel post-mortem report from Bhavnagar to ascertain the exact cause of death. A case of accidental death has been registered for now.
