Doctor Arrested for Alleged Role in Daughter's Tragic Suicide

In a shocking development in central India's Wardha city, police have arrested a doctor accused of abetting his daughter's suicide. The 18-year-old victim had allegedly faced relentless mental harassment from her father, Dr. Arun Wankhede, which culminated in her tragic death in December 2025.

The arrest followed a complaint lodged by the doctor's wife, Sushma Wankhede, who claimed that the father-daughter relationship had been severely strained since 2021, with allegations of verbal abuse and extramarital affairs further compounding the distress.

Authorities detained Dr. Wankhede from Yavatmal, with charges of abetment to suicide filed against him. The case has sparked outrage and brings attention to the critical issues of family dynamics and mental health.
