PRAYAGRAJ: Three doctors of Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in Prayagraj were booked for the murder of MS student Dr Kartikeya Srivastava , who was found dead in his car Saturday.

Based on a complaint by Kartikeya's sister, an FIR was filed against an associate professor of orthopaedic department, Dr Sachin Yadav, and two junior residents, one of them a woman. They have also been accused of physical and mental torture of Kartikeya.

Kartikeya was initially suspected to have died by suicide as a syringe and empty vials of anaesthesia were found in the car. However, the autopsy report revealed asphyxiation as the cause of his death.

According to the complainant, when Kartikeya was a junior resident, his senior and second-year student Shivam Gupta harassed him mentally and physically. When he reported the matter to Dr Yadav, instead of taking corrective measures, he also harassed her brother mentally.

It was alleged that Kartikeya was suffering from deep vein thrombosis, a condition that doesn't allow a person to stand for long, but was forced to perform duty for 48 hours.
