In the three-page suicide note written on civic hospital
medical note papers, Dr Payal Tadvi revealed how it had become ‘unbearable’ for
her to carry on with the alleged ‘torture’ meted out to her by her seniors.
Naming the three accused — Dr Hema Ahuja, Dr Bhakti Mehare and Dr Ankita
Khandelwal, Tadvi has said in the note that they are responsible for her and
her classmate, Snehal’s condition. The note also revealed how she felt let down
by the seniors of the gynaecology department, to whom she had complained.
“I am really sorry mom and dad to take away my
life. I know how much I mean to you all and also you are world to me, but no,
at this stage everything has become unbearable. I cannot stand a minute with
them. From last one year we have been bearing them hoping one day this will
end. But now I can only see the end there is no way out of it really. I cannot
find a way out,” Tadvi wrote in the letter.
She said that she has not
been able to understand what the accused had against her. “I have made this
decision after trying everything out. I found out no one is there to stand for
us, support us in this department. In fact, it is all our
fault, we are at fault has been concluded,” she wrote.
Tadvi, a second-year student
in the gynaecology department at civic-run Nair Hospital, was found hanging
from the ceiling of her room on May 22. The original note was allegedly
destroyed by the three accused after Tadvi was rushed out to the trauma room.
The Mumbai Police crime branch found photographs of the three pages on Tadvi’s
phone which has been annexed to the chargesheet filed earlier
this week.
Tadvi, a resident of
Jalgaon, wrote that she had chosen to become a gynaecologist as she was
passionate about it. She also said that the accused harassed them in front of
everyone, patients and staff, almost every day. “I am prohibited from handling
labour room from last three weeks because they don’t find me efficient. I have
been asked to stay out of labour room during OPD hours… they do not allow me to
check patients, all I am doing is clerical work,” her note said.
In the complaint filed by
her mother, Abeda, she claimed that the three accused deliberately kept her
daughter away from important work and gave her clerical work as a form of
caste-discrimination. Dr Payal Tadvi belonged to the Scheduled Tribe, Tadvi
Bhil.
n the letter, Tadvi
mentioned that despite putting all efforts, the condition was not improving and
she had become ‘mentally disturbed’ and did not see any other way. She ended
the letter with an apology to her parents and loved ones. “I don’t know how
Snehal will cope up with these three. I am also sorry to leave you with them,”
Tadvi’s last line of the note said.
