A youth committed suicide after feeling depressed for his baldness in Kozhikode. The deceased has been identified as Prasanth and a suicide note has been recovered from his house.
In the suicide note, he alleged that the doctor continued to give him medicines despite complaining that there is no reduction in hair loss. The note said that he has been taking medicine for hair loss since 2014. Only minor hair loss was there at the time of contacting the clinic. However, after treatment started, his eyebrows started receding.
Prasanth was found dead at his house on October 1. He took the medicines till 2020 in the hope that the hair fall would stop.
Prashant’s family members said that even though they had filed a complaint against Dr Rafeeq, who treated him, with the Atholi police, they were not satisfied with the investigation. Atholi SI said prima facie no crime was found and added that further investigation is underway.
