India, Oct. 24 -- A woman doctor working at the Phaltan sub-district hospital in Maharashtra's Satara district died by suicide on Thursday night, leaving behind a note on her left palm accusing Police Sub-Inspector Gopal Badne of repeatedly raping and harassing her over five months, media reports said.

In the note, she wrote that Badne's abuse and the mental harassment by her landlady's son, Prashant Bankar, drove her to take her life.

Following the suicide, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis ordered Badne's suspension.
