Bengaluru: A young lady doctor working at the MS Ramaiah Hospital in the city committed suicide earlier last week allegedly after being pressured by a fellow doctor at the hospital for having a relationship with him.

The deceased doctor has been identified as Dr. Priyanshi Tripati, a native of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh.

A case was filed at Sanjay Nagar Police Station following a complaint filed by Priyanshi’s father Susheel Tripati who alleged that Dr. Sumit was harassing his daughter for having a relationship with him.

He further alleged that Priyanshi committed suicide when Dr. Sumit spread rumors against her and tried character assassination among colleagues when she rejected his proposal repeatedly.

A case under section 306 of the Indian Penal Code has been filed based on the complaint and the police is further investigating the matter.

KOCHI, Apr 3 (PTI): A local body near here has slapped a fine of Rs 25,000 against noted playback singer M G Sreekumar for allegedly dumping waste into the Kochi backwaters.

The Mulavukad Grama Panchayat issued a notice directing the singer to pay the fine within 15 days, the authorities said on Thursday.

The notice was issued after a tourist captured a video on their mobile phone showing a garbage bag being thrown into the Kochi backwaters from the singer's house located in Mulavukad panchayat area, panchayat sources said.

According to the sources, a few days ago, this video was posted on social media, tagging Local Self Government Minister M B Rajesh.

In response, the minister stated that complaints regarding public littering, supported by evidence, could be submitted to the government’s WhatsApp number (94467 00800) for action.

After receiving the complaint, the local body’s control room directed the panchayat authorities to inspect the site the same day and confirm the incident, panchayat sources added.

Subsequently, a notice directing to pay a fine of Rs 25,000 was issued under the relevant sections of the Panchayat Raj Act, the sources said.

"After considering the response from the singer, the panchayat will initiate further action if required," said a top panchayat functionary.

However, the singer has not responded to the issue so far.
