"We are inquiring into the incident. We can't make detailed statement at this juncture but we are probing it," Health Minister Vishwajit Rane told reporters today. The 38-year-old woman jumped to death from the first floor of the building of Goa Medical College here yesterday when she was allegedly told about her HIV positive status. GMC Dean Dr V N Jindal said National Aids Control Organisation (NACO) has written a letter to the Home Ministry seeking details of the case.
