Hospital nurse committed suicide at the hospital staff quarters in Banjara Hills on Friday.

The victim was Sravani, daughter of Mamata, a staff nurse at the Basavatarakam Indo American Cancer Hospital & Research Institute in Banjara Hills. Sravani graduated recently.

At 2.30 pm, Mamata returned to her residential quarters at the hospital and found the door locked from inside. "As Sravani did not respond to her mother for a long time, the latter grew suspicious and broke the door latch with the help of neighbours. Sravani was found hanging to the ceiling fan with a stole," said Banjara Hills sub-inspector Ch Jitender Reddy.

There was no suicide note and during the preliminary investigation, Mamata told police that she lost her husband a year ago and since then Sravani was depressed.

"Sravani is extremely thin and Mamata told that her daughter was not well since a long time. Sravani also used to tell her mother that she wanted to commit suicide," the SI said.

Based on the complaint, police registered a suspicious death case under section 174 of CrPC and shifted the body for postmortem.
