A 24-year-old junior resident doctor was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a washroom at the Trauma Centre of Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH)-32 in Chandigarh on Tuesday.

The police said Dr. Yogesh, a postgraduate junior resident in the Department of General Medicine, was found unconscious inside the washroom. He was rushed for assistance but could not be revived. Authorities are currently examining the case from all possible angles, including the possibility of suicide, though no official cause of death has been confirmed.
