Nagpur, September 17

A third-year student of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Nagpur died by suicide at his home here, police said on Friday.

The deceased was identified as Pushpak Sambhe (21), a resident of Wanadongri area.

He and his parents had visited their village on Wednesday and Pushpak alone returned next morning to attend online classes, said a police official.

He apparently hanged himself on Thursday afternoon.

The death came to light when his mother asked a neighbour to check on him as he was not responding to phone calls, the official said.

A case of accidental death was registered at MIDC police station and further probe was on, he 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).
