A 23-year-old doctor belonging to a tribal community allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at the hostel of the government-run Nair hospital here, police said Thursday.
Payal Salman Tadvi, the deceased, was under depression as three of her senior colleagues allegedly used to harass her with castiest remarks, police said.
She allegedly hanged herself Wednesday night.
Tadvi was the student of a post-graduate course in gynecology.
The accused doctors also used to defame Payal on WhatsApp groups of students, a police official said.
Agripada police have registered a case against three doctors and probe is on.
