In the suicide note, the victim accused SI Gopal Badne of physical and mental abuse, and said his constant harassment forced her to take her own life.

Sources said Badne was suspended on the orders of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The CM, who also holds the Home portfolio, has directed that strict action be taken against the accused.

The doctor, who hailed from Beed district and worked at the hospital in Phaltan tehsil, was found hanging in a hotel room at Phaltan late on Thursday night, an official said.
