In a tragic incident, a female postgraduate medico is said to have killed herself by injecting unidentified drug. A passerby saw a female unconscious in a car at Sulthanpur on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) within the boundaries of the Ameenpur Police Station.
A female medico identified as Dr. Rachana Reddy, who was 26 years old. She was a native of Khammam. Dr. Rachana was a postgraduate student at Khammam's Mamatha Medical College, which is situated in the Rangareddy district's Bachupally. She was working as an intern after finishing her studies. Dr. Rachana was the resident of HIG Colony in the Bhel township of RC Puram Mandal.
On Monday morning, Dr. Rachana pulled over from her Honda car. She had on her seat belt and was seated in the driver's seat. Then she immediately rushed to the Mamatha Hospital in Bachupally, where she passed away at 4 p.m. while receiving treatment.
According to the Deccan Chronicle, Nagaraju, Ameenpur Police Inspector said that at 8.20 am, they received a call through Dial-100 from a passerby who stated that a woman lost control of the steering and hit the railing on Muthangi Outer Ring Road (ORR). They rushed to the scene and shifted her to a private hospital, where she died while undergoing treatment.
A senior police officer said it was a clear-cut suicide case since Dr. Rachana administered an unidentified drug through her wrist. A cannula was found on her left wrist, and a pair of empty syringes were found near the driver’s seat. Although there was no vial, the drug was not identified immediately.
Dr. Rachana was reportedly upset after her parents got her engaged for marriage last November, police sources said.
The police said that Rachana’s father, Prakesh Reddy, runs a boutique, and her mother is a homemaker.
During the preliminary investigation, it was concluded that Rachana might have ended her life, as there was no one in the car at that time. She administered an injection through a cannula. Police have already sent the syringe to FSL to determine the drug that she administered.
The police are probing all angles, and a case of suspicious death has been registered. The death body, after a post-mortem examination, was handed over to her family for last rites.
