Over the last two months, the premier institute in the capital city has seen six suicides, including that of three doctors. "A number of unfortunate recent events have caused us great distress. This has led us to lose some of our exceptionally bright and caring students and part of our family due to self-harm," Guleria said, reassuring that AIIMS will do everything possible to prevent its recurrence.
