PUNE, Oct. 28 -- The investigation into the death by suicide of a 29-year-old woman doctor posted at the Phaltan Sub-District Hospital has revealed a dispute between her and Prashant Bankar, one of the accused, a day before she was found dead. Bankar and the doctor were in a relationship but it had soured in recent weeks. Speaking to the media after meeting officials at the sub-district hospital, police station and health department in Phaltan on Monday, Maharashtra State Women's Commission chairperson, Rupali Chakankar, said, "The doctor visited Bankar's house to celebrate Diwali. An argument over clicking photographs escalated into a major argument, with the doctor reportedly going to a nearby temple. Bankar's father escorted her back to his house but the doctor later went to a lodge. From here, she continued to communicate with Prashant via text messages throughout the night, but he had switched off his phone." According to Chakankar, the doctor sent multiple messages and photos to Prashant, stating that she would end her life, but he allegedly replied that she had made similar threats before. Police sources confirmed that communication between the two continued throughout the night. A day later, the young doctor was found hanging in her room at the lodge, on October 23. "During interrogation of the accused, it was revealed that on Laxmi Pujan Day, the doctor had asked Prashant to click photographs of the rangoli she had drawn in front of his house. However, she was not happy with the pictures taken and went to a temple after a heated argument." Chakankar also said that forensic and autopsy reports are awaited. "The preliminary post-mortem findings indicate it is a death by suicide case." In a separate development, call detail records (CDR) of the doctor's phone show that she had been communicating with the other accused in the case, police-sub-inspector Gopal Badane, from January to March. In her suicide note, written on her hand, the doctor has accused Badane of sexual assault. Chakankar said call records are being analysed to ascertain whether the doctor and arrested police officer had met outside the hospital premises, in light of her sexual assault charge against him. However, she had submitted no written complaint to the Internal Complaints Committee (ICC), set up under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act (PoSH), of the medical institution where worked. "The ICC under the PoSH Act is active in the hospital and no complaint was filed by the deceased doctor. Her colleagues were unaware if she faced any political or police pressure and harassment. In fact, they all celebrated Diwali together," said Chakankar. The government doctor has accused Badane of rape and Bankar, a software engineer and son of her landlord, of mental harassment. Both the accused are in police custody....
