The doctor also allegedly subjected her to ‘objectionable things’. In a fit of anger, Maha took a taxi and ran home where she narrated the incident to her family.

She told her family that she will end her life which has become shameful and hell for her to live anymore. And so she committed suicide after a while and shot herself in her bathroom.
