An 18-year-old student of Jamia Millia Islamia University committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his residence in laxmi Nagar of east Delhi on Sunday night.
The youth was found in his room by his mother after which he was rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors declared him brought dead.
The deceased, identified as Bharat Nagpal, was a BSc second year student in Jamia. “We have not found any suicide note from the spot. It seems that the youth was under depression. We are questioning his family and friends to ascertain the reason why he took the extreme step. It could also be a love affair gone wrong,” said a police official.
Nagpal’s father, Rajesh Kumar Nagpal, runs a grocery shop on the ground floor of their house while his mother is a housewife. He also had an 8-year-old sister.
