Andhra woman doctor found dead in Hyderabad over U.S. visa rejection

A 38-year-old woman doctor from Guntur district in Andhra Pradesh was allegedly found dead at her flat in Hyderabad due to depression over not getting U.S. visa, said a police official.

The incident came to light on November 22 after her family members, who are staying in another locality of the city, broke open the door when there was no response and found her dead, they said.

It was the domestic help who informed the family members of the deceased, identified as Rohini, after she did not open the door, police said on Sunday (November 23, 2025).

The body was handed over to the family members after postmortem.

The exact cause of the death is yet to be known as they were awaiting the postmortem report, the official said.

A note left behind by the deceased was found in the house, which purportedly stated that she was under depression, and it also mentioned the rejection of the visa application.

Lakshmi, mother of the deceased, said that her daughter was eagerly waiting to go to the U.S. for a job but became depressed due to visa denial.

Rohini stayed in Padma Rao Nagar, Hyderabad, as there were libraries nearby. She wanted to specialise in internal medicine, said Lakshmi.

“She was a brilliant student and had completed her MBBS in Kyrgyzstan between 2005 and 2010. Her academic record was excellent, and she had big dreams for her future,” Lakshmi told PTI.

Lakshmi said that she advised Rohini to stay back and practice medicine in India, but she said that her daughter argued saying patient numbers per day were limited in the U.S. and income was better.

Her mother added that Rohini’s struggle with disappointment and depression had intensified in recent weeks as she awaited visa approval, which never came, leaving her mentally exhausted and isolated.

Rohini did not get married and had devoted herself fully to her medical career, Lakshmi added.

Meanwhile, Chilkalguda Police have registered a case.
