Ruling and Opposition leaders alike take the state government to task, asking whether gynaecology student's death must be treated as suicide or as a case of murder

The ruling parties and Opposition members took the state government to task on Tuesday over the suicide of Dr. Payal Tadvi. State medical education minister Girish Mahajan and Minister of State for Home Dr. Ranjit Patil assured that no guilty person would be spared. They added that preventive measures are being taken in colleges across the state and the anti-ragging law is being made stringent.
BJP's Atul Bhatkhalkar raised the sensitive issue through a calling attention notice in the lower house. He was supported by members across parties who demanded strict action to prevent such deaths. Some members demanded that the three accused doctors — Dr. Tadvi's seniors who allegedly ragged her and discriminated against her over her caste — be tried for murder.
