India, Oct. 27 -- A series of claims and counterclaims, including allegations of rape and pressure to fabricate postmortem reports, have emerged following a doctor's suicide in Maharashtra's Satara. In the latest development, the doctor's cousin has alleged procedural lapses in the investigation and even suggested the possibility of "another suicide note."

The 29-year-old government doctor triggered shock waves through Maharashtra after a note found on her hand alleged that she was raped more than once by police sub-inspector (PSI) Gopal Badane, and harassed by her landlord's son Prashant Bankar. However, Bankar's family alleges that the doctor named him in the note out of spite for rejecting her marriage proposal.
