A college student allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan in his hostel room here, police said on Friday.

Akshay Prajapat, 21, was a BSc first-year student in a private institute and lived in the hostel in Jagatpura, police said. He was a resident of Jhunjhunu district.

According to police, the incident occurred on Thursday night when Prajapat’s room partner was not present in the room.

When he returned on Friday morning, Akshay did not open the door and he alerted the hostel authorities, police said.

They broke open the door and found Akshay hanging from the ceiling fan and informed the police, they said.

No suicide note was recovered and the body was sent for post-mortem. Further investigation is under way, they added.

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).
