Kathmandu, June 20
Kin of Bimala Tamang, 27, who was found hanging inside Samata Hospital on Tuesday, have filed an FIR against three staffers of the hospital accusing them of homicide today at Metropolitan Police Circle, Gaushala.
Tamang was a staffer at the hospital.
The relatives filed the case on the basis of a ‘suicide note& found in the pocket of the deceased as it mentioned names, Tirtha Kumari Shrestha and Sangita K.C.
The note also mentions the word ‘ma&am& which refers to Kala Adhikari Sanjel, wife of the hospital operator Uttam Sanjel.
Police have taken the three persons into custody.
Relatives, friends and locals have claimed that she must have been killed before being hung as all the doors in the hall were locked from inside except one that was locked from outside.
Santosh Lama, brother in-law of Bimala said, &The fact that the body was inside a closed room and its only accessible door was locked from outside, points out to homicide.&
Police said they were investigating the case and would reach a conclusion soon.
Bimala body has been sent for forensic lab test and police expect the result in a few days.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Hobindra Bogati at Metropolitan Police Range, Teku, said they were investigating if anyone named in the suicide note was associated with Bimala suicide.
New Criminal Code Act endorsed last year has criminalised abetment to suicide as a crime that can result in jail sentence of five years or Rs 50,000 fine, or both.
