According to City Superintendent of Police, Bhushan Ekka, Kashyap was discovered hanging in his hostel room within the Civil Lines police station’s jurisdiction, news agency PTI reported.
In the suicide note, the deceased apologised to his father. “Mujhse nahi ho paya, I am sorry, papa (I couldn’t do it, I am sorry, papa),” the suicide note read.
Preliminary information suggested that when Kashyap did not appear for his examination in the morning, his classmates went to his room but found the door locked from inside. After multiple failed attempts to open the door, they broke it down and found Kashyap dead.
Soon after, the police were informed, they sent a team to the spot. Thereafter, cops sent the body for post-mortem examination.
An accidental death report has been registered, and an investigation is ongoing.
Dr KK Sahare, Dean of the college, mentioned that Kashyap had failed his first-year examinations in 2024 and was reappearing this year.
“It appears he took the extreme step due to the pressure of not performing well in the exams,” PTI quoted the Dean as saying.
