A 25-year-old trainee doctor allegedly hanged himself in his hostel room at Maulana Azad Medical College in central Delhi, police said on Sunday.

Around 7:10 pm, an incident of suicide of a second-year MD (Doctor of Medicine) student of Maulana Azad Medical College was reported. The victim was identified as Navdeep, a senior officer said.

His parents had asked his friend to check on him after Navdeep failed to answer their calls, the officer added.

Navdeep’s hostel room door was found locked from the inside. It was broken open and he was found hanging, he said.

“Inquest proceedings are under way. No suicide note has been found,” the officer added. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
