Mumbai, Oct 24: A woman doctor who died by suicide, has accused police sub-inspector (SI) as reason for her death. In a note written on her left palm, the victim accused SI Gopal Badne of physical and mental abuse, and said his constant harassment forced her to take her own life.

In the suicide note, the victim stated: "Police inspector Gopal Badne is the reason I died. He raped me four times. He subjected me to rape, mental and physical abuse for more than five months".

The doctor was working as a medical officer at Phaltan sub-district hospital.

The victim had earlier in a letter narrated the whole incident to the Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) of the Sub-Divisional Office, Phaltan.

In her letter to the DSP months before her suicide, the woman doctor accused three police officers of Phaltan Rural Police Department of harassment and sought legal action against them.
