A resident doctor in Surat, Harsh Pandya, is found dead in his hostel room, according to reports. He had been working in the Microbiology Department at New Civil Hospital for about six months while pursuing postgraduate studies.
After the death, four senior residents are suspended amid allegations of harassment. The suspension follows complaints that seniors mistreated him, although the specific details of the allegations and the timeline described in reports are not fully consistent across coverage. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding his death, including whether any harassment played a role.
Outlets also reference the hospital and hostel setting in which the incident occurs, highlighting that the disciplinary action is linked to the harassment claims. While the reporting broadly agrees on the death and the suspension of the four seniors, outlets differ in emphasis, with some focusing more on the harassment allegations and others focusing on the doctor’s role and background.
