A 21-year-old BSc student allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in his rented room in the Chhata area of the district, police said on Tuesday.
Hemant, a second-year student of BSc in Radiation Imaging Technology at a private university in the Chhata area, was living in a rented accommodation near Govardhan Chauraha in the town. “On receiving the information, police reached the spot and broke open the door. Chhata SHO Umesh Chandra Tripathi said the incident came to light around 10 pm on Monday after the landlord informed police when the student’s room remained locked throughout the day.
The victim was identified as Hemant, son of Sarnam Singh, a resident of Bahadurpur Sarai Murlidhar village under the Sirsaganj police station area of Firozabad district, they said, adding that no suicide note was found in the room. The student was found hanging inside the room,” Tripathi said. The student’s family has been informed, police said, adding that the exact circumstances and reason behind the death would be clear after the investigation and postmortem report.
