A female medical student was discovered dead in her hostel room at the Mahatma Gandhi Rural Development University near Nagavi in Gadag district of Karnataka. The student, identified as Veena Hanapur, was pursuing a Master of Public Health (MPH) course at the university. Her body was found hanging from a double-decker bed, prompting her family to raise concerns and request a thorough investigation.
Veena’s family has expressed doubts about the circumstances of her death, alleging foul play and calling for a transparent inquiry. They disputed the notion of suicide and claimed that she might have been murdered. The family highlighted facial injuries and blood near her nose as suspicious, emphasizing that her body was discovered in a kneeling position, leading to further questions.
The incident has left Veena’s parents devastated, as they had high hopes for her academic success and future as a doctor. Known for her academic excellence, Veena’s untimely demise has shocked her family and peers. The family also criticized the university authorities for moving the body to a hospital before their arrival, questioning the handling of the situation.
Demanding justice, the family insisted that Veena was a victim of assault before being hanged, urging a comprehensive investigation into the matter. The police have initiated a case and are actively probing the incident, including examining forensic evidence, post-mortem results, and statements from hostel personnel and students. The investigation is ongoing to determine the exact cause of Veena’s death.
