Doctor kills herself after failing to clear MD exam in Coimbatore

Twenty-six-year-old woman doctor in Coimbatore allegedly committed suicide 'dejected' over failure to clear her MD examination, police said on Monday.

Krithika, working as a trainee doctor in a private hospital in the city, hanged herself from a ceiling fan at her house in Peelamedu in the wee hours of Sunday, they said.
