Bhubaneswar: The Commissionerate Police recovered the body of a lady doctor inside a rented house at Shree Vihar in Patia under Chandrasekharpur police limits here on Friday morning.
The deceased has been identified as Manaswini Barik, a native of Melchhamunda of Bargarh district. She was working in the ICU unit of the Care Hospital at Chandrasekharpur.
According to reports, the brother of the deceased had called her to her mobile phone on Thursday evening. But as he did not receive any response, he contacted the colleagues of her sister who rushed to her rented house. But as they found that the door of the room was locked from inside, they called up the police who rushed to the house and recovered the body after breaking the door open.
The body was later taken to the Care Hospital where the doctors pronounced it brought dead. During the post-mortem, it was found that the lady doctor was administered with excess dose of rocuronium injection, an adult intravenous sedative, causing her death.
The distraught father of the lady doctor, who rushed to Bhubaneswar on Friday, told mediapersons that her daughter had married a doctor three years ago who is currently working in a hospital in Bangkok. However, the couple went for a divorce last year.
“Despite the divorce, my daughter was never upset. She was a strong-willed girl and always remained in high spirits. I must say that she has never attempted suicide in the past. This is a well-planned murder. The truth will be unraveled during the investigation,” he said.
