Woman medico commits suicide by jumping before train in Odisha

Bhubaneswar: A woman medical practitioner today allegedly committed suicide after jumping before a running train in Odisha’s Chatrapur.

As per reports, the deceased identified as Dr Archana Dash jumped before the tracks this morning near Chatrapur in Ganjam district due to marital discord.

Archana was married to Dr Anjan Dash five years ago who works as a Cardiac Anesthesiologist at a private hospital in Gajapati Nagar area here.
