A few hours after the suicide by a Post Graduate (PG) girl student in her hostel room in Maharshi Dayanand University (MDU) here late on Wednesday evening, another case of suicide by a male student surfaced here on Thursday.
The deceased has been identified as Trilok of Chhotu Ram Nagar here and was pursuing MEd course from MD University, Rohtak.
According to the police, Trilok consumed some poisonous substance at his house on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday. He was immediately taken to PGIMS here by his kin but died during medical treatment this morning.
Though the exact reason behind this extreme step is yet to be ascertained, the kin of Trilok said he was frustrated for quite some time since he had been denied Government job despite having higher qualifications.
Earlier, a 22-year-old girl student, identified as Annu of Jind, ended her life by hanging herself by a ceiling fan in her room at Ganga Hostel on the MD University campus on Wednesday evening. She was a student of Economics department of the university.
The incident came to light in the evening when some hostel mates spotted Annu hanging, through a window of the room. They immediately informed the hostel warden who later called the police. On getting information, DSP (City) Virender Singh along with other police officials rushed to the spot and sent the body to PGIMS for post mortem examination after taking stock of the situation.
later, a team of forensic experts also visited the scene of crime and took some samples from there. No suicide note was recovered from the spot. The police handed over the body of Annu to her kin after post-mortem examination on Thursday.
“We have started investigation into both the cases,” said police.
