Doctor Dies After Jump From 24th Floor of Under‑Construction Building in Pune

A handwritten note saying she alone was responsible has been recovered by police.

Overview

  • Dr Shweta Rokade, 29, was found after falling from the terrace of a 24‑storey under‑construction building in Ravet and was pronounced dead by doctors on Friday morning.
  • Because the building had no internal CCTV, investigators used nearby surveillance to identify her and traced the footage to her rented flat in Celestial City.
  • Police recovered a handwritten suicide note in the flat that, according to officers, says she alone is responsible and does not name any person or institution.
  • Officers have seized her mobile phone and other belongings, sent the body for a post‑mortem, registered an accidental death report, and say a formal inquiry is ongoing.
  • Some reports say Rokade was a BAMS doctor and had worked as an intern at Birla Hospital, but that detail is limited in the coverage and has not been independently confirmed; public mental‑health helpline information has also been shared by outlets.
