Squadron Leader Abhishek Tripathi of Allahabad was found hanging from the ceiling of the mess in the IAF campus this morning.
Tripathi had reportedly picked up a quarrel with his wife over phone with regard to a property a couple of days ago and since then was found depressed. This was suspected to be the motive behind his extreme decision, police said.
Police registered a case and investigation was underway. The parents and wife of Abhishek were expected to reach here tomorrow, police said.
