RAS officer Priyanka Bishnoi, aged 33, tragically passed away in Ahmedabad after undergoing a hysterectomy at a private hospital in Jodhpur. The surgery, intended to address a uterine lump, allegedly led to complications.

Authorities explained that a police case could only proceed after an investigation report was received. Consequently, the protests concluded peacefully after four and a half hours, and the body was taken for last rites in Phalodi. Security was heightened at Jodhpur hospital due to community outrage. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhanjan Lal Shamra expressed his condolences.
