An MA student at Jadavpur University was today found hanging in his room in the varsity's main hostel, police said.
Soumitra De, an MA second year student of Philosophy, was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his room in the block B of the main hostel after fellow students broke open the door when their repeated calls went unanswered at around 11 AM, an officer of the Jadavpur police station said.
The door was locked from the inside and when De's body was pulled down, it was found that the student was wearing a headphone, attached to a cell phone, he said.
De, hailing from Bankura district's Joypur, was taken to the MR Bangur Hospital where he was declared brought dead.
An initial probe indicated that the boy, known as a bright student, had been in depression for some time, the officer said.
"We are yet to receive any complaint," he added.
