A 24-year-old NEET aspirant from Odisha was found dead in his hostel room in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar on Saturday, the police said.

The student, identified as Roshan Kumar Patro (24) from Abhayapur in Ganjam district, Odisha, had been preparing for the NEET exam at a coaching institute and was staying at a hostel in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar.

The student was found dead in suspicious circumstances around noon on Saturday, Jawahar Nagar police station Circle Inspector, Ramlaxman, said, adding that Roshan was found lying on his bed with vomit around his mouth.

He was immediately taken to the hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead after examination, the officer said.

The reason behind the student’s death is yet to be ascertained, the officer said, adding the body has been placed in the mortuary for the postmortem.

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).
