Yash Salaskar, a second year engineering student took the extreme step by hanging himself from a fan on August 26, said Satish Raorane, senior police inspector of Kasturba Marg police station.
Yash, son of a school teacher, was alone in the flat when he ended his life, Raorane said.
A suicide note purportedly written by Yash was found from the spot, the officer added.
According to police, the suicide note says, "Bury me, don't cremate me, I don't blame anybody for my suicide".
The exact reason for his suicide is yet to be ascertained. But, we are verifying various angles, another official said.
A case has been registered and a probe is on, he added.
