In a shocking incident at the state-run NRS Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, a 30-year-old nurse was discovered dead in a washroom during her night shift. The nurse was on duty at the hospital's high-dependency unit on Wednesday evening. According to preliminary police reports, she entered the staff washroom in the antenatal ward of the Gynaecology Department Building around 10.30 pm.
When she did not return to her post, her colleagues discovered her body, locked in the washroom, and found her unconscious on the floor.
Upon being alerted of the incident, personnel from Entally police station and officers from the Detective Department’s Homicide team arrived at the hospital. The initial investigation revealed no visible injury marks on the nurse's body, nor was a suicide note found. Police are investigating the possibility of an overdose of an anaesthetic drug administered through an injection as the cause of death.
However, they are examining all potential angles of the case. The nurse's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination. State health minister Sharadwat Mukherjee visited the hospital on Thursday morning to speak with staff members who were on duty during the night.
