The Head of the Department of Forensic Medicine at SMS Medical College in Jaipur, Dr. N.L. Disania, was found dead by suicide at his residence in the city’s Khatipura area. Dr. Disania, a senior professor with nearly three decades of service, was discovered hanging in a room by his family upon their return from a wedding ceremony. Despite immediate medical attention at a nearby hospital, he was pronounced dead, and his body was later taken to SMS Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Dr. Disania was highly regarded for his long-standing contributions to medical education and forensic sciences within the Department of Forensic Medicine. His sudden death has deeply saddened the medical community in Rajasthan, with colleagues and officials from SMS Medical College expressing their condolences and grief.

Following the tragic event, the Jhotwara police have begun a thorough inquiry, and security measures have been implemented at the mortuary.
