Payal Tadvi, a junior doctor who committed suicide following caste-based harassment in a Mumbai hospital she worked at, in her suicide note named the three accused doctors who harassed her and said that it had "become unbearable" for her to continue. The suicide note was recovered by the forensic department on July 6. A copy of Payal Tadvi's suicide letter is with India Today TV.

In the three-page suicide note, Payal Tadvi said, "I am really sorry mum and dad to take away my own life. I know how much I mean to you all and also you are the world to me. But know at the stage it has become unbearable. I cannot stand a minute with them."

Payal Tadvi had hung herself in her hostel room in May. In the letter, Payal Tadvi mentioned the names of three accused doctors who harassed her and said she was hoping it would end but it did not. She wrote, "For the last year, we have been hearing them hoping this will all end. But now I can only see the end. There is no way out of it really I cannot find a way out of it."

Talking about the Gynaecology Department of Nair hospital where she worked, Payal Tadvi said that there was no one to stand for her and support her in the department. Tadvi said that she thought she would learn in the college but "people started showing their colours".

"Initially me and Snehal [Payal Tadvi's friend who gave her statement to crime branch] didn't come forward or said anything to anyone. The torture continued to the level that I could not bear. I complained against them [the accused doctors] but it had no result. I have lost my professional life, personal life, everything because it has been declared by them that they will not let me learn anything until they are in the hospital. I am prohibited from handling the labour room from last three weeks because they don't find me efficient. I have been asked to stay out of the labour room during OPD hours," she wrote in the letter.

She spoke about how she was not being allowed to check patients but was only given clerical work.

The suicide note read: "Despite putting all efforts, the condition is still not improving, I am becoming mentally disturbed. The environment is not healthy to work and I have lost hope for anything to change because I know it won't."

Naming the accused, Payal Tadvi wrote, "I hold Hema Ahuja, Bhakti Mehra and Ankita Khandelwal responsible for conditions of me and SnehalI have tried a lot, came forward many times, spoke with madam about this, but nothing has been done. I literally do not see any way, I can only see THE END."

Before ending the letter, Payal Tadvi apologised for the extreme step and said, "I don't know how Snehal will cope with these three. I am also scared to leave you with them."
