A first year student of dental surgery allegedly committed suicide by hanging from a ceiling fan inside her hostel room in Teerthanker Mahaveer University here, police said.
The body of Diksha Agarwal, who hailed from Dalkhola in West Bengal, was today found hanging from a bedsheet in her room at 9:30 AM when the police broke into her room after being informed by college authorities, they said.
Inspector Tejinder Singh Yadav said a suicide note has also been recovered. However, it is illegible.
A forensic team has been deputed to examine the note and the body has been sent for postmortem. The cause will be ascertained after both the reports come, SSP Nitin Tiwari said.
Police said the family of the girl has also been informed.
In a similar incident, Neeraj Bhadana, a first year MBBS student from Faridabad, was also found dead under mysterious circumstances on the university campus on 6 July, 2013. A CBI inquiry was ordered in the case and it is still continuing with its inquiry.
