"Senior officers have joined the probe. The other doctors and her colleagues at the hospital are being questioned. The development has shocked her friends and family. We can't comment more on the case until we get the autopsy report," a police officer said.

Aakanksha was found dead at her hostel room in Gandhi Medical College (GMC) at around 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Sources told that Aakanksha was on duty in the morning, but she returned to her hostel room early complaining of illness.

Later in the evening, when some other resident doctors returned to their hostel rooms, they noticed that Aakanksha's room was closed. Later, she was found lying unconscious in her room.

Senior doctors, including the head of GMC and the dean, rushed to the spot after informing the police, one of the resident doctors told .

Aakanksha, who hailed from Gwalior, had recently enrolled for MD in Pediatrics at the Gandhi Medical College, the biggest state-run medical college in Madhya Pradesh.
