Satara Doctor Suicide Case:
Satara Doctor Suicide Case: Rape Allegation, Political Pressure and Games in Autopsy Report; Shocking Revelation of Brother
Phaltan, Dated. October 24, 2025 (Special Correspondent): The suicide of Dr. Sampada Munde, who was sent to Phaltan Upazila Hospital in Satara district of Maharashtra, has shocked the entire medical field. The suicide note written on the palm of the hand of this 32-year-old female doctor, who was found dead in a hotel room on Thursday night, has shocked everyone. The note directly accuses Phaltan Rural Police Station Sub-Inspector (PSI) Gopal Badne of rape four times and claims mental torture against the owner Prashant Bankkar. However, Dr. Munde's brother has given a different twist to the case. Accordingly, it has been revealed that the pressure from the police and political leaders to give a wrong autopsy report was the main reason behind the doctor's end of life. PSI Badne has been suspended with immediate effect on the instructions of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, and demands for a high-level inquiry from medical associations are gaining momentum.
The matter began a few months ago, when Dr. Sampada Munde was given the responsibility of preparing the autopsy report in a sensitive case. According to sources, the matter was linked to an old dispute between the police and the health department. Dr. Munde had an argument with police officers in a medical examination case, which led to a departmental inquiry against him. Against this backdrop, he was constantly pressured by police and political leaders to give a wrong report. Dr. Munde, unable to bear this pressure, had given a written complaint to his superiors. In it, he clearly wrote, "If this harassment does not stop, I will commit suicide." However, this complaint was not taken seriously by anyone, which further deteriorated his mental condition.
Dr. Speaking to the media, Munde's brother said, "There was immense pressure on my sister from the police and political leaders to give a wrong autopsy report. She tried to complain about this, but no one took it seriously. My sister should get justice and strict action should be taken against the accused." This statement has given a new twist to the case, and now questions are being raised as to what is the real face of this system that interferes with medical reports? According to the brother, Dr. Munde had to endure not only mental torture but also physical torture. She had joined the Phaltan Upazila Hospital last year and was dedicated to her family. However, this pressure ruined her life.
Dr. Munde's body was found in a hotel room in Phaltan on Thursday night. The police conducted a panchnama and sent the body for autopsy. The preliminary investigation revealed the possibility of suicide. However, the suicide note written on the palm of her hand was the key to the case. The line in the note – “PSI Gopal Badne raped me four times. Prashant Bankkar mentally tortured me” – created a stir in the police administration as soon as it was read. The Phaltan city police have registered a case against the two and a special team is being appointed to search for the accused. PSI Badne was working in the Phaltan Rural Police Station and is currently absconding. Satara District Superintendent Tushar Joshi has appointed a special team for him. Prashant Bankkar is said to be the owner of Dr. Munde’s house. He is also currently absconding and the police are searching for him. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has taken cognizance of the matter and has ordered the immediate suspension of PSI Badne. Satara District Superintendent Tushar Joshi said, “We have appointed a special team and will soon arrest the accused. A thorough investigation into the matter is underway.” This case has once again brought to the fore the tension between the police and the medical department. The dispute over the previous autopsy case is said to be the root cause of this incident.
The medical community has expressed deep outrage over the case. The Maharashtra Medical Association (MAMS) has demanded a high-level inquiry and issued a statement saying, "This injustice against medical professionals is intolerable. Political interference in such cases should be stopped." Doctors in Phaltan and Satara districts have warned of boycotting their work. The incident has not only claimed the life of a doctor, but has also highlighted the weaknesses of the entire system. Pressure to report wrongly, ignored complaints and serious allegations like rape – all of these combined to end the life of a talented doctor.
Although the investigation into the case is ongoing, Dr. Munde's family is demanding justice. "My sister wrote the truth in her last moments. Now it is the responsibility of the police and the government to bring that truth to life," said the brother. There is tension in Phaltan city over the case and the police have increased security. The incident has highlighted the need for reforms in the medical and police systems in Maharashtra. Dr. While paying tribute to the memory of Sampada Munde, the family and medical community have expressed their determination to continue the fight for his justice.
