MBBS student found hanging in Jaipur hostel, police suspect suicide

A third-year MBBS student was found dead in a hostel at Sawai Man Singh Medical College here, with police suspecting suicide, officials said on Saturday. Police said the deceased Nitin Yadav was found hanging from a noose in the staircase area on the eighth floor of the New RD Hostel (PG) building. Officials found no suicide note at the scene. Station House Officer Rajesh Sharma said Yadav, a native of Alwar, was staying in Jaipur for his studies in a rented flat outside the campus. ''On Friday night, he had gone to the SK Menon Hostel (UG) to study with friends. He left around 2 am, saying he was going back to his flat, but instead reached the New RD Hostel, where his body was later found,'' Sharma said. Police said they reached the spot after receiving information and brought down the body. Officials said further investigation is underway.
