A resident doctor at Umaid Hospital in Jodhpur, identified as Nikki Chaudhary, was discovered deceased in her hostel room on Thursday under suspicious circumstances. The first-year postgraduate anaesthesia student was found unresponsive in her room and was taken to the trauma centre, where she was pronounced dead around 6 pm.
Chaudhary, who hailed from Jhunjhunu, had reportedly been unwell with vomiting and diarrhoea since Wednesday and had taken leave. Fellow residents alerted management when she did not respond to their calls. The hostel room has since been sealed as police begin their investigation into the exact cause of death.
A doctors' organisation has called for an independent and time-bound investigation into the case, emphasizing the importance of resident doctors' dignity, safety, and mental well-being.
