A female doctor, Salila Panda, was found dead at her residence in Odisha's Sundargarh district on Friday morning, according to law enforcement authorities.

Having been affiliated with the Runagaon Primary Health Centre for over a decade, Panda's sudden death has prompted police to initiate an investigation under the classification of an unnatural death, confirmed Bibhuti Bhusan Bhoi, the sub-divisional police officer of Badagaon.
