Nagpur: Doctor injects self to end life, drug used yet to be identified

NAGPUR: A 34-year-old doctor, Akansha Meshram, ended life at her residence at Nagsen Nagar on Thursday by injecting herself with a high dose of some unknown medicine.

Police have sent five syringes, including an empty one, for forensic examination to ascertain the content of the medicine.

It’s learnt, Meshram was earlier serving at a government hospital at Solapur and returned to Nagpur around a year ago during the lockdown.

Married in 2016, she had divorced in 2019. Meshram was staying with her elderly mother for the last one year.

Police said there were five syringes of injections beside her, including an empty one. Police could not find the vials from which the syringes were filled. She had likely used her right hand to inject on the left.

Meshram was found motionless on her bed when her mother went to call her for meal, said police. Her mother raised an alarm and cops were alerted as Meshram was not responding to calls.

A suicide note was also found beside her. As per the suicide note, Meshram had ended life “peacefully” holding none responsible for her death.

A case of accidental death was registered at Jaripatka police station.
