Chennai, November 5
In yet another case of suicide in the Army, a 22-year-old cadet committed suicide at the prestigious Officers Training Academy (OTA) near here this morning. Azad T. Nair, hailing from Kannur district of Kerala, who had been reported sick yesterday, was found hanging from the fan in his room in the Academy, according to Army sources here.

Though there have been suicide cases reported from other wings of the Army, training institutions like NDA in Pune and IMA in Dehra Dun, this was the first such case in OTA which trains personnel for short-service commission in the armed forces. — PTI
