The call lasted for a minute and 11 seconds.

The second phone call, reportedly from the same caller, arrived five minutes later.
The woman is heard saying, "Her condition is critical, very critical. Please come over as soon as you can."

This call lasted for about 46 seconds.
Tragic news
Final phone call announces victim's death
The third and final call from the same voice announced the death of the victim.
The caller stated, "Yes, please listen...we were repeatedly telling you before...your daughter...may have...died by suicide...or she may have passed away. The police are here. All of us from the hospital are here."
The trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of the hospital on August 9.
