Dr Supriya’s suicide: DMCH management says no doctor should be falsely implicated

The police had formed a SIT and initially, an FIR was lodged against unknown persons. Later, the police lodged an FIR against doctors Punni and Bhatt under Section 304 (abetment to suicide) of the IPC.

After a resolution was passed by the entire DMCH management, the members of the management met DC Rajat Aggarwal and Police Commissioner Pramod Ban. They stated that their doctors had not been named in any suicide note and still they were booked which had brought a bad reputation to the institute.

Alleging that the doctors’ names were included by the police under pressure, they said if there was no fair probe, they would take appropriate steps.

Meanwhile, the chairman of SC/ST Commission, Punjab, asked for a report from the police commissioner, and told him to conduct a free and fair probe and speed up the investigation.
