The Bombay High Court on Tuesday, while hearing the bail pleas of the three accused in Dr Payal Tadvi's suicide, sought an opinion from the state about whether Dr Ching Ling, former unit head at the Nair Gynaecology department, has been held responsible for the offence punishable under Anti-Ragging Act,1999.

Responding to the court, Special Public Prosecutor Raja Thakare said that a letter recommending a departmental inquiry against Dr Ling had been prepared by the investigating officer, but had not yet been submitted to the municipal commissioner.
