"Chang Kripa Singh, a first year student of Music (Hons) in Hindu College and a resident of Manipur, was found dead in his hostel room at around 5:30 AM when he didn't open the door after his roommate kept knocking," a senior police officer said.
Singh had strangled himself with the cord of cell phone charger, the officer said.

They said they had planned to take him back to Manipur.
