Kolkata police officers initiated a probe after finding twenty-eight-year-old junior doctor Avijit Sarkar hanging inside his Nagerbazar hostel room on Sunday afternoon.
The deceased worked as house staff at the state-run N.R.S. Medical College and Hospital located in Sealdah, central Kolkata.
Sarkar had completed his MBBS from N.R.S. Medical College in 2018 and resided in the northern suburban area for work convenience.
Hostel authorities informed Sarkar’s family around four in the afternoon on Sunday that they discovered the doctor hanging inside his room.
Rescuers immediately rushed Sarkar to the nearby state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, where attending doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.
Family members residing in Sapjala village, located within Nadia district, rejected the initial police suspicion of a simple suicide.
Relatives reached Nagerbazar Police Station on Monday morning to lodge a formal complaint alleging planned murder or forced suicide.
The victim’s family highlighted several cryptic social media messages that Sarkar posted online over the past few days.
These online posts indicated that the young doctor suffered from extreme insecurity, anxiety, and severe mental tension recently.
Family members admitted they lacked specific information regarding the exact circumstances or individuals causing Sarkar’s recent distress.
Investigating officers have impounded Sarkar’s mobile phone and digital accounts to examine his latest communications and online activities.
Police officials stated that the preliminary autopsy report will determine the precise physical cause and exact timeline of death.
