Lucknow, May 13: A senior Provincial Civil Services (PCS) officer, Vinod Kumar Rai, posted as ADM (West) in the state capital allegedly committed suicide by consuming sulphas tablets late on Friday night. Rai was with his 22-year-old domestic help at his official Butler Palace residence when he took the extreme step.


Rai was rushed to the Civil Hospital from where he was referred to the Trauma Centre at Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University. After struggling for life for a few hours, Rai finally breathed his last at around 5am.


Though the exact cause of Rai taking the extreme step could not be ascertained, family tension is suspected to be the reason. Rai's wife Neelima had left for her native district Deoria only a couple of days back. Rai belonged to Mau district.


On Friday night at around 11pm, Rai had dinner and asked his maid Suresh to give him message. After sometime, Suresh went to his room. Meanwhile, Rai had a mobile conversation with his wife Neelima at around Friday midnight.


After midnight, Rai allegedly consumed some sulphas tablets. Soon, he started feeling uneasy and woke up his domestic help Suresh. He then asked him to install a fan outside the room, the police said.


Soon, Rai started vomiting and it was at that time he told Suresh about consuming sulphas. A panic-struck Suresh then alerted one of the Rai's neighbours, an ACJM. Rai was rushed to Civil Hospital from where he was referred to the Trauma Centre.


DIG Ashutosh Pandey was informed about the incident at around 3.30am. Pandey rushed to the Trauma Centre and even talked to Rai. The DIG confirmed talking to Rai. He said Rai did recognise him by his voice and talked to him for a few minutes.


After sometime Rai breathed his last.


Family members of Rai, including his son Utkarsh, who is pursuing BTech in Noida and his wife Neelima were informed. By afternoon, both reached Lucknow, the police said.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.
