A 23-year-old Dalit house surgeon at a government medical college in Telangana’s Siddipet district allegedly died by suicide after being cheated by a senior resident doctor who promised to marry her but later refused due to caste differences, police said on Monday. The woman allegedly self-injected a herbicide in her hostel room on January 3 after learning that the accused would not marry her. She studied in a social welfare school before joining MBBS at the Government Medical College in Siddipet in 2020, police said. The deceased was doing her internship at the Government Medical College in Siddipet, where she got acquainted with the accused, a senior resident, in July last year, police said. The accused, who belongs to a backward class, promised to marry her but later refused, citing caste difference, which led her to take the extreme step, police said.
