A 19-year-old BTech student from Chhatarpur, was discovered hanging in his rented room in Anand Nagar's Manak Vihar Colony late Friday night.

Police suspect the suicide occurred three to four days earlier, as the last known communication with his family was on Sunday.

Jahar, who lived on the third floor of Gangaram Sahu's house, had called his father, Brijmohan Rajak, on Sunday to discuss opening a new bank account. He mentioned issues with his existing account and an inability to withdraw money.

Brijmohan reported that Jahar rarely communicated with him and usually called his mother.

After Sunday, Jahar stopped responding to calls, prompting concern from his family. His roommate, Abhay, who was also his maternal uncle, had been away in their village for a week, leaving Jahar alone. On Friday, after repeated calls went unanswered, Jahar’s family contacted the landlord and friends to check on him.

When the door remained locked, police were notified.Upon entering the room, officers found Jahar hanging from a towel tied to a noose. The landlord stated that he rarely saw Jahar due to the room's location on the top floor. Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.

In a separate incident, 45-year-old Shiv Narayan, a confectioner from BHEL, Bhopal, died after his motorcycle was hit by an unidentified vehicle near Khajuri village on Friday night.

According to the family, Shiv Narayan was returning home after attending a Mata Pooja when the accident occurred around 8 p.m.

The collision left him with severe head injuries. Despite being rushed to JP Hospital in an ambulance, he succumbed to his injuries.

Police are reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify the vehicle and the driver responsible for the hit-and-run.
