AIIMs doctor's suicide note on gay husband: Full text

New Delhi: A suicide note posted by an AIIMS doctor on Facebook was shared nearly 3,500 times even as her profile page on the social networking site was converted into a tribute page.

A suicide note found in the Paharganj hotel room where 31-year-old AIIMS doctor Priya Vedi was discovered dead and a similar Facebook post by her on Saturday afternoon revealed that her husband’s sexual orientation had led to the souring of the relationship between the doctor couple, police said.

Her Facebook profile page was turned into a tribute page by Monday evening, probably by the IT team of the social networking website. The page read, “Remembering Priya Vedi”, and the suicide note had disappeared from its timeline.

Her husband, Kamal Vedi, 34, who is a dermatologist at AIIMS, was remanded in 14-days’ judicial custody by a local court on Monday. He was arrested on Sunday from his residence after his wife, who was an anaesthetist at the premier hospital, was found dead with her wrist slit.

Police said, the couple got married five years ago and, soon after the marriage, Priya came to know that her husband was “gay”. In the suicide note, she said, she had “accepted it” and was ready to live with it, but added that the subsequent torture had led her to end her life.
