Patient commits suicide in Hospital

A 35-year old woman patient committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling inside the toilet of the eye department of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Wednesday. Mina Saha was admitted on August 4 after she complained of acute inflammation in her left eye.

Doctors said she was not recovering well and she was advised to undergo an operation as there was a cyst in her eye. After that she was bit depressed and started speaking less.

On Tuesday, when her husband came to meet her, she didn’t speak much with him. Parthajit Banerjee, Medical Superintendent of the hospital, said they were still not certain why she committed suicide. Police are investigating whether any family dispute would have prompted her to commit suicide.
