Bhopal JK Hospital Nurse Suicide: Did live-in partner’s refusal force Megha Yadav to take fatal anesthesia overdose? When the forensic investigation begins, the mystery is coming to light, mental stress and medical pressure have emerged as the main reasons.
JK Hospital Nurse Suicide Case: The sudden death of 30-year-old nurse Megha Yadav, who worked in the cardiac unit of JK Medical Hospital, Bhopal, shocked everyone. Megha was found unconscious in her rented house in Kolar area and was immediately taken to the hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead. Megha was living in a live-in relationship with a young man for four years. The family claims that she was under mental stress after her live-in partner refused to marry her. This stress and loneliness are believed to be the main reasons for his death.
What was that last moment?
Megha was in a rented house in her Kolar area. That day was her friend Ranu’s birthday, and Megha was on leave from the hospital to attend the birthday party. At around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, her roommate returned home from college and slept in the room. Megha was unconscious and was unable to contact anyone. Brother Shivraj Patel spoke to her and after making several calls, he went home and saw that Megha was lying unconscious. Immediately they called the hospital and Megha was taken to JK Hospital, where doctors declared her brought dead.
Did anesthesia kill?
According to the information, Megha injected 4 ml anesthesia in her right hand. Medicines used in anesthesia, such as metazolam and varicolum, are considered safe in general surgery, but overdose without specialist monitoring can be fatal. Metazolam sedates and relaxes the patient, while Variculum helps in breathing through the ventilator by relaxing the muscles.
Has this happened before?
In January 2023, GMC’s doctor Akanksha had attempted suicide by using a similar medicine. Recently, AIIMS doctor Rashmi Verma is also admitted in vegetative stage due to this dose. In the case of JK Hospital, the forensic team has seized the injection and the remaining medicine.
Was personal stress the reason or is there something else hidden?
Megha used to write with her left hand, but she deliberately injected her right hand. The family says that the live-in partner’s refusal to marry and mental stress could be the cause of death. The police have established a route and started investigation.
Forensic investigation and evidence
The forensic team has seized the injection and the remaining medicine and started investigation. Megha was left handed, so she took the injection with her right hand. Family and police say that refusal to marry and mental stress could be the main reasons for his death.
Why is anesthesia dangerous?
Metazolam makes the patient sedative, suppresses memory and helps in unconsciousness. The varicolum completely relaxes the muscles and temporarily deactivates the breathing muscles. Doses taken without doctor’s supervision can seriously affect the heart, lungs, and blood pressure.
