Bhubaneswar: A young doctor, who had married just 20 days back, was found dead in his rest room under mysterious circumstances Thursday night at a private hospital under Bharatpur police limits in Bhubaneswar.

Later, Sishir was rushed to intensive-care unit of the private hospital where he breathed his last while undergoing treatment.
He was administered Potassium Chloride injection and also Tramadol injection as he was suffering from lower back pain, the source said.
