A 26-year-old postgraduate medical student died after allegedly jumping from the terrace of an apartment building in Nagaram, Hyderabad. The woman, who had returned from Bengaluru last week, succumbed to her injuries in hospital. Police have registered a case and begun an investigation.
Despite Banerjee's promise of a transparent investigation, the protesters criticised the delay, demanding a judicial inquiry, capital punishment for the culprits, and adequate compensation for the victim's family.
She was a second-year postgraduate medical student and a house staff member in the chest medicine division. Hospital staff discovered her body around noon on the fourth floor of the emergency building, sparking tension within the premises.
