A man allegedly killed his girlfriend in the polyclinic in which she was working as a nurse and then hanged himself in the facility in Maharashtra's Raigad district, a police officer said on Thursday.

The incident, which took place in Parli area in Pali, came to light on Tuesday when the brother of deceased nurse Pournima Desai. 22, arrived at the polyclinic as she had not returned home and was not answering calls, the officer said.

"When the door of the polyclinic was broken down in the presence of police, Desai was found dead in a pool of blood, while Shekhar Dudhane, 26, was found hanging. Our probe has found Dudhane, who worked at a mobile phone shop, was in a relationship with Desai. However, over the past few days, they were having arguments since he believed she was ignoring him," the officer said.

"Around 12.30pm on Tuesday, Dudhane, in a fit of rage, went to the polyclinic, killed Desai with a sickle and then committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan there. A further probe is underway," he added.
