The campaign urged doctors, students, and the public to share photos of black ribbon protests and highlight their key demands. Central MARD and BMC MARD have put forward their clear demands: Along with demanding justice for the deceased, doctors are also raising concerns about safety in hospitals. They are demanding proper implementation of POSH (Prevention of Sexual Harassment) and Internal Complaint Committees (ICC) in all government hospitals, and a safe and respectful working environment for female doctors, so incidents like this never happen again. Speaking to , Dr Suyash Dhavane, General Secretary, Central MARD, said, “Her sister has claimed that the handwriting of the suicide note written on her palm does not match her handwriting. This is shocking and hard to believe. Our team is constantly in touch with her family." Regarding the link of the case with an MP, He said, "She was being pressured to give false medical fitness certificates to people who were not fit. She refused but was forced to do so. Later, she reported it to higher authorities and even filed complaints. Before her death, she wrote a four-page letter where she mentioned that two staff members working under the MP were involved. So now, we are asking, did she really commit suicide, or was she murdered?" "Coming to the police investigation, the two people named in the suicide note surrendered on their own at the police station. Even though a large police team was deployed to arrest them, the police were unaware of their location when they surrendered themselves. This means the accused were near their residing location. This raises serious questions about the quality of the investigation and how the case is being handled," Dr Dhavane said. "We want justice and action because this is unfair. The doctor came from a financially weak family. Her parents could not afford her medical education, so her uncle paid for it, and she also had an education loan. I knew her personally—she was a brilliant doctor. Because of her family’s financial condition, we are demanding compensation," he added. had reported that a woman doctor working at a Phaltan Sub-District Hospital in Maharashtra’s Satara district allegedly died by suicide, leaving a note on her palm, accusing a police officer and a software engineer of rape and mental harassment. Both accused were arrested in connection with the case. Also read-Satara Shocker: 28 year old doctor commits suicide, leaves note on palm alleging rape by cop
