The Crime Branch has claimed to have found a suicide note purportedly written by Dr Payal Tadvi, who had killed herself in her hostel room on May 22 this year. On Thursday, the Crime Branch provided screenshots of the suicide note in a sealed envelope to the magistrate, who ordered the police to verify them through forensic as well as handwriting experts. The note was allegedly written by Payal and a picture of it was found in her mobile phone. This strengthens the theory that the trio had torn up the note after finding it in her room.

Dr Payal Tadvi, a second-year student of the gynaecology department had hanged herself in her hostel room. Her seniors Dr Hema Ahuja, Dr Ankita Khandelwal and Dr Bhakti Mehare have been accused of abetting her suicide and torturing her with casteist remarks. The trio is in judicial custody now.
