Hudhud times: A 22-year-old nurse at the state government-run Sir Takhtasinhji General Hospital in Gujarat’s Bhavnagar died after hanging herself inside the hospital’s storeroom.
She took the extreme step to protest her proposed marriage to a man chosen by her parents, they said.
The nurse was identified as Ami Makwana, a resident of Rohidas Vaas in Bhavnagar’s Anandnagar area. She joined the government hospital as a contractual nurse around one-and-a-half months ago, The Indian Express reported.
The hospital administration found Makwana hanging by a rope tied to the ceiling fan in a storeroom on the seventh floor of the hospital building, police said.A suicide note, purportedly written by Makwana, was recovered by the police from the storeroom.
“In the two-page suicide note, Makwana wrote that her family had found a match for her but she did not want to get married to that man. Therefore, she was ending her life,” Gohil said, adding that her family members had said that she was also upset as she could not pass a government recruitment examination recently. https://www.hudhudtimes.com/
