A female doctor in Maharashtra's Satara committed suicide after allegedly being raped multiple times by police sub-inspector Gopal Badne. Despite filing earlier complaints of harassment against officers from Phaltan Rural Police Department, her pleas went unheard. The victim left a suicide note on her palm detailing the abuse, prompting political backlash against the Mahayuti government and calls for strict action against those responsible for ignoring her previous complaints.
