A first-year student at PSG Medical College in Peelamedu, Coimbatore, was found dead under mysterious circumstances in the hostel bathroom. The deceased, Bhavapoorani, was pursuing an MD in Anesthesiology and was also a practicing doctor at PSG Hospital. She hailed from Vagurampatti village in Namakkal district.
The body has been shifted to ESI Hospital for post-mortem examination.
According to the Peelamedu police, Bhavapoorani had gone to the washroom around 2 am on Saturday, July 5. The next morning, around 7 am on Sunday, fellow students who went searching for her found her lying unresponsive in the washroom after breaking down the door.
Following the incident, Bhavapoorani’s father filed a complaint with the Peelamedu police, requesting a thorough investigation and expressing doubts about the nature of her death.
A case has been registered under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), which pertains to unnatural or suspicious deaths. Police officials said they are awaiting the post-mortem report for further information.
“The doctors who examined her said they were waiting for additional test results, which could take up to a month. They mentioned she may have fainted due to breathing difficulties,” said Kandaswami, the victim’s father.
However, expressing suspicion, he added, “Bhavapoorani never had any breathing-related issues.”
