A 38-year-old woman doctor from Andhra Pradesh’s Guntur district was found dead in her Hyderabad apartment on Saturday, with police suspecting suicide linked to depression following a rejected US visa application.
According to officials, the incident came to light when the doctor’s domestic help alerted her family after repeated knocks on the door went unanswered. Her relatives, who live in another part of the city, rushed to the flat and broke open the door, where they discovered her unresponsive.

The doctor, identified as Rohini, is believed to have consumed an overdose of sleeping pills or administered an injection late on Friday night. Police, however, said the exact cause of death will be confirmed once the post-mortem report is received. Her body was handed over to the family after the examination.
A suicide note recovered from the apartment indicated that she had been struggling with depression, and reportedly mentioned her distress over her US visa being denied. Her mother, Lakshmi, said Rohini had been preparing to take up a job in the United States and was devastated after her visa application was rejected.
Police are continuing further investigation into the matter.
