Nagpur, May 7 (PTI) A 35-year-old transperson died by suicide at a government-run hospital in Nagpur on Thursday, nearly a month after losing both legs following an accident, police said.
Radhika Mohan Jadhav, a resident of Amravati district, allegedly hanged herself from her hospital bed using a bandage cloth.
According to police, Radhika earned a livelihood by begging on trains. Last month, she reportedly fell from a moving train and sustained serious injuries, following which both her legs were amputated.
She was first admitted to Irwin Hospital in Amravati and later shifted to the Government Medical College and Hospital in Nagpur for further treatment.
Police have registered an accidental death case.
An official from Ajni police station said, “The exact reason behind the suicide is not yet clear. Statements of persons concerned are being recorded, and further investigation is underway.” PTI COR NR
