Call for Justice: Family Demands SIT in Maharashtra Doctor's Tragic Case

The family of a woman doctor in Maharashtra, who allegedly committed suicide, is demanding a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. The doctor had reportedly accused a police officer of rape and faced harassment from authorities. Two individuals, including a police sub-inspector, have been arrested in the case.

The family of a deceased woman doctor in Maharashtra's Satara district has called for a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate her alleged suicide. They insist on a fast-track court trial in Beed, stating that previous complaints by the doctor went unaddressed.

The doctor, who was found hanging in a Phaltan hotel, had accused police sub-inspector Gopal Badane of rape and software engineer Prashant Bankar of mental harassment. Both were arrested, raising questions about evidence destruction before Badane's surrender.

Congress and Shiv Sena leaders have criticized the BJP-led government over the incident, with calls for impartial inquiry amid suspicions of murder. Maharashtra Women's Commission also highlighted disputes between the accused and the doctor prior to her death.
