Kullu, January 14

The body of a student, aged 35, from Rajasthan was found hanging from a noose in his hostel room in the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) at Kamand in Mandi today. SP Shalini Agnihotri said that a police team visited the hostel and sent the body to a Mandi hospital.

She said that no foul play was suspected and no suicide note was recovered from the room. The police recorded the statements of other students and it was still not clear why he took the extreme step.

Shalini said the body was handed over to the aggrieved family members after a postmortem examination. A probe was underway.— OC
