The deaths of two postgraduate students at Andhra Medical College within a five-day period have triggered an official investigation by local authorities. The first victim, a final-year General Medicine student, was discovered earlier this week, followed by the death of a first-year ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) student four days later.
The Commissioner of Police has ordered a comprehensive inquiry into both incidents to determine the circumstances surrounding the deaths. While the exact causes remain under investigation, the proximity of the two deaths has raised concerns within the medical institution and among student communities.
Andhra Medical College, one of the region's premier medical institutions, has been cooperating with law enforcement officials in the ongoing probe. The inquiry is expected to examine all relevant factors and circumstances leading to both fatalities.
The deaths come amid growing attention to the mental health and well-being of postgraduate medical students, who face significant academic and professional pressures during their studies. Authorities have not released further details regarding the investigation's progress or preliminary findings.
