The Madurai city police are probing the death of a postgraduate medical student, who died within four months of her marriage. Since the death happened within a few months after the marriage, a revenue divisional officer inquiry has also been ordered.

A Hari Harini, 26, was pursuing her postgraduation in anaesthesia at the Madurai Medical College. She got married to P Ashok Vignesh from Mela Anupanadi in November 2020. Vignesh is also pursuing his postgraduation in the same college. Meanwhile, Harini developed health problems on March 5 with fever and body pain. Police sources said that Vignesh treated her at his house and gave her an  injection for the body pain.

However, within a few hours, she vomited and fainted. Vignesh with the help of his family members, shifted her to a private hospital near Kamarajar Salai.

As she went unconscious, he and Harini’s family members shifted her to another private hospital at Mattuthavani. However, she died on Saturday.

Based on a complaint from her father Raveendran, a case was registered with the Avaniyapuram police station under the IPC section  (174) – suspicious death and an inquiry was carried out. The body was shifted to the Government Rajaji Hospital for an autopsy.

A police officer said that they did not find any foul play during the course of preliminary inquiry, while the postmortem report also ruled out the same.
