Controversy
In June 2025, Dr. Rakesh Bishnoi, a postgraduate medical student at SN Medical College in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, died after consuming poison. He died during treatment at SMS Hospital in Jaipur. Following his death, his family and fellow doctors gathered outside the hospital’s mortuary, alleging that Dr. Bishnoi had faced mental distress due to delays in thesis approval by his department head.[3][4]
Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) leader and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal urged the government to register a case against the department head and address the family’s demands promptly. Beniwal also contacted the Director general of police and Jodhpur police commissioner to discuss the matter.[5]
