Doctor with account in scam-hit PMC Bank kills self; cops deny link
India TV NewsA 39-year-old doctor having an account with scam-hit Punjab and Maharashtra Bank allegedly committed suicide at her residence in the metropolis' Versova area, police said on Tuesday. An official, however, said police "did not think" the suicide was related to the crisis at PMC Bank and financial woes it had subjected thousands of depositors to. Some officials of the bank are accused of colluding with private firm HDIL to disburse loans fraudulently that ultimately caused a loss of Rs 4,355 crore to the lender, leaving depositors unable to withdraw large sums and in danger of losing their savings. Nivedita Bijlani, a doctor staying with her father in Versova's Model Town area, consumed a heavy dose of sleeping pills on Monday night, the official said.
