RG Kar student found dead at her mom's official home

KOLKATA: A 20-year-old MBBS student of Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital was found dead in her room at the Kamarhati ESI Hospital quarters on Friday night.

The victim, Ivy Prasad, was a second-year student. Her mother works as a doctor at the Kamarhati ESI Hospital and her father is a senior bank official in Mumbai.

"Despite repeated calls, there was no response from her. Eventually, her mother broke open the door," a senior police officer of the Barrackpore commissionerate said.

The student was rushed to hospital, where doctors declared her dead.

No suicide note was found, police said.

Officials at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital said Prasad was usually quiet.

Police suspect the MBBS student may have been suffering from depression.

A case of unnatural death has been registered and police investigation initiated. Her body has been sent for post-mortem.
