A 22-year-old medical student ended his life by jumping off the roof of a hostel in All India Institute of Medical Sciences on Monday evening here, police said.
The 2018 batch MBBS student, who hailed from Bangalore, was admitted in the psychiatry ward of the hospital and was undergoing treatment for some mental health problem.
He had taken an hours’ break from the ward. He then apparently reached the hostel 19 roof from where he jumped, AIIMS sources said.
