Satish Kumar Chandsi, an ECG technician at Kota’s JK Lon Hospital, died by suicide on Friday after facing alleged workplace harassment and continuous night shifts.
In a suicide note, Chandsi accused Hospital Superintendent Nirmala Sharma and Nursing Superintendents Mohan Lal Bairwa and Naveen Sharma of mentally harassing him.
He wrote that the officials forced him to work for 13 consecutive days and threatened to ruin his career when he objected.
Chandsi also noted that Superintendent Nirmala Sharma scolded him and told him to quit when he complained about the gruelling schedule.
The victim apologised to his wife, Pooja, in the letter and demanded strict action against the three accused hospital officials.
The incident came to light on Friday afternoon when Pooja, staying at her maternal home, failed to reach him by phone.
She asked her elder sister, who lived nearby, to check on him. The sister entered the open gate and found Chandsi hanging inside.
Relatives rushed him to MBS Hospital, where doctors declared him dead. They later took his body to JK Lon Hospital and demanded justice.
Chandsi’s brother-in-law, Suraj, stated that authorities ignored his repeated requests for relief staff while other employees remained on leave.
Meanwhile, Nursing Superintendent Mohan Lal Bairwa cited a severe staff shortage and claimed the administration had assigned two labour room employees to assist the ECG department.
Bairwa denied speaking inappropriately to Chandsi and asserted that staff members usually coordinate their own schedules.
Hospital Superintendent Nirmala Sharma also denied the allegations, stating she had no prior knowledge of the issue and that Chandsi never approached her.
