A special report on the tragic death of a 26-year-old doctor in Satara, Maharashtra, which has sparked nationwide outrage. The case involves allegations of rape and harassment against Police Sub-Inspector Gopal Badane and another individual, Prashant Bankar, who have both been arrested. The government has promised a full investigation with one official stating, 'No one will be spared. Those who are involved will be punished severely'. The doctor was found dead in a hotel room, having left a suicide note on her palm. A separate, more detailed note allegedly also mentioned a sitting MP who pressured her to falsify medical certificates and post-mortem reports. The incident has led to protests by the medical fraternity in Mumbai, demanding justice and a thorough probe into the abuse of power and the circumstances that led to the young doctor's death.
