Later, Dr Archana Sharma and her husband Dr Suneet Upadhyaya were booked under IPC Section 302 (murder) by the police; the couple ran the Anand Hospital. Apparently disturbed by the developments and the FIR, Dr Sharma left a note and died by suicide Tuesday. PPH [Postpartum haemorrhage] is a known complication and so stop harassing doctors so much over it.”“Perhaps my death might prove my innocence. In a video that he put out on Wednesday, Dr Upadhyaya said that Asha Bairwa had a normal delivery but suffered massive PPH two hours later. I tried to make her understand that you won’t be lodged in jail just like that but perhaps her fear didn’t go away, and she didn’t tell me and committed suicide,” Dr Upadhyaya said.
