The 38-year-old doctor’s tragic suicide in her apartment in Hyderabad has thrown the medical fraternity into a state of mourning, besides bringing gloom to the faces of members of her family in Andhra Pradesh.
The incident puts the spotlight on the intense pressure and emotional toll young professionals face while seeking opportunities abroad, especially when such hopes are suddenly extinguished.
The doctor, who was identified as Rohini, belonged to the Guntur district and was staying alone in the Padma Rao Nagar area. Her death was detected on November 22 when anxious family members entered the flat with the help of some others after she did not open the door.

What Was Written Inside Rohini Final Note
Investigators confirmed that a suicide note was found at the scene. In the note, Rohini reportedly mentioned her struggle with depression and specifically referenced the rejection of her US visa application as a contributing factor to her distress.
Rohini Awaited her US Visa
Her mother, Lakshmi, described Rohini as a brilliant student who pursued her MBBS in Kyrgyzstan from 2005 to 2010. She had always dreamed of going to the United States to pursue internal medicine.
“She was waiting very eagerly for her visa approval,” Lakshmi said, adding that her daughter found better career opportunities with respect to higher salaries and a less patient load in the US.
In fact, Rohini had selected the location of her apartment in Padma Rao Nagar, keeping in mind the easy accessibility to nearby libraries to facilitate studying and preparation for her career.
Lakshmi had encouraged Rohini to continue her practice in India, but her daughter’s heart was set on the opportunities overseas. After years of dedication and anticipation, the denial of her visa had left her “mentally exhausted and isolated,” the family noted.
The police confirmed that the exact cause of death would be ascertained after the postmortem report and that the doctor’s body was handed over to her family. Rohini was unmarried and had channeled all her energy into her professional life.
Her tragic death has sent a strong message about how vulnerable the mental health of an individual can become when a dream pursued for many years in the quest for a career suddenly collapses.
