Jaipur, Feb 3 (PTI) – In a tragic incident, a doctor was found charred inside his room at a government Ayurveda hospital in Rajasthan’s Jalore district on Monday morning. Authorities suspect that the fire may have been caused due to smoking, police said.

According to Circle Officer Gautam Jain, police were alerted when smoke was seen billowing from Meena’s room.
