While the suicide of Nair hospital's Dr Payal Tadvi has been making national news for a week, her friends had been sensing trouble for the last six months. This was revealed in a chat Dr Tadvi had with one of her MBBS classmates. It also revealed that she had skipped college for two days in November last year without informing anyone owing to the harassment she was facing by her seniors at the hospital.
Sagle tension madhe ale ahet me suicide tr nahi na karun ghenar [Everybody is scared I will commit suicide]," were the exact words Dr Payal Tadvi had used in her chat with her best friend from Grant Medical College, Miraj, on November 30. However, no one ever imagined that she was actually contemplating taking her life because of the harassment by the three accused doctors at Nair hospital.
