Nurse found dead in Hyd, police suspects suicide

Hyderabad: In an unfortunate incident, a nurse died, allegedly by suicide, in her room at a private clinic at Pragathi Nagar in Bachupally on Monday. Though the exact reason for the suicide was yet ascertain, police suspect personal problems.

Police said the victim, N Manga (21), who was working as a nurse at Jayasree Clinic for the last three months, was visibly upset for the last few days.

On Monday morning, she called her family members after which she allegedly hanged herself from the ceiling fan. A helper on duty at the clinic found her hanging and informed the clinic authorities, who alerted the Bachupally police. No suicide note was found, they said.
