A 24-year-old youth committed suicide in a hotel room in Sector 6 on Thursday.
The deceased, identified as Rishabh, a resident of Agra district, finished his life by consuming restricted drugs. Nearly 2.5 kg drug was also recovered from his room. A case has been filed under appropriate sections of law in Sector 20 police station. No suicide note was found from the room of the hotel.
According to police, the incident came to light around 12 pm when the waiters of the Royale Palace Hotel did not get any response after knocking his door frequently. On raising suspicion, they forcibly opened the door and found Rishabh lying on the bed in unconscious state. The deceased was immediately taken to the nearby Kailash Hospital where he was declared brought dead.
According to his family members, Rishabh was in city to face an interview in national Capital. “He came to Noida on May 7 and stayed in hotel. He was in constant touch with the family and had never discussed about any problem. On late morning, when Rishabh’s phone was out of reach, we contacted at landline number of the hotel and enquired about him,” said Raman, deceased’s father, who is also a famous shoe trader of Agra.
“Though we have filed a case in this regard but we are investigating the matter thoroughly. We have sealed the room of the hotel and questioning his relatives and hotel staffs. We have sent the body for postmortem so we could ascertain the reason of death, said Shivram Yadav, Circle Officer-I, Noida.
