Surat Resident Doctor Found Dead in Hostel; Police Suspect Ragging
A young doctor living at a big hospital in Surat, a city in Gujarat, was found dead in his room.
His name was Dr Harsh Pandya, and he had only recently started his job.
He worked in the microbiology department and had been a resident for about five or six months.
His body was found on Sunday morning, and the police are trying to figure out what happened.
They think a practice called 'ragging' might have something to do with it.
Ragging is when older or senior students tease and bully newcomers, and it is against the rules.
The police, the hospital, and the state health department are all investigating the case.
Many people feel very sad, because doctors work hard to help others.
This sad event reminds us that bullying is never okay and can have very serious consequences.
Dr Harsh Pandya, a first-year resident doctor in the Microbiology Department, was found dead in his hostel room at New Civil Hospital in Surat, Gujarat.
Police suspect ragging may be linked to the death.
Pandya had joined the department around the end of February and had completed nearly five to six months of residency.
The police, hospital administration, and the state health department are investigating the incident.
The incident took place on the New Civil Hospital and Government Medical College campus on Sunday morning, August 09.
