A 40-year-old psychiatrist, Dr Hemika Agrawal, dies after she allegedly jumps from her fifth-floor apartment in Officers City-2 Society in Raj Nagar Extension, Ghaziabad, police said. The incident occurs on Sunday. Police report that she is taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors declare her dead. Multiple outlets say her family links the death to mental health concerns following her divorce. Times of India and Free Press Journal report that Agrawal had been struggling with depression and emotional distress after the end of her marriage about one-and-a-half years earlier, according to her relatives. NDTV similarly cites depression after divorce as the family’s claim.
Police investigate the circumstances and state they are looking at possible angles, including mental health. Free Press Journal reports that no suicide note is recovered so far, and investigators continue collecting evidence and recording statements from family members and people connected to the case. A forensic team inspects the scene and gathers materials to establish the sequence of events.
