After that, she finally took an extreme step on Thursday (October 23) night. Her suicide news created a stir in the Phaltan Upazila Hospital and the health sector. Police said a detailed probe is underway. 

The deceased woman wrote a suicide note on her palm before taking the extreme step. In the note she alleged that PSI Gopal Badne raped her four times. “The reason for my death is PSI Ganesh. He raped me four times and Prashant Bankar tortured me physically and mentally,” the victim wrote.

“We have not yet received the official cause of death from the authorities. I have spoken to the police superintendent and asked him to visit the scene. If a suicide note or similar evidence is found, it is very regrettable. We will investigate this matter thoroughly, collect all evidence, contact the girl’s relatives and ascertain whether they suspect anyone. Whoever is guilty in this incident will not be spared. Strict action will be taken,” said Satara Guardian Minister Shambhuraj Desai.
