Bangladeshi student dies by suicide in Faridabad

A Bangladeshi student allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself from a fan in the hostel of a private engineering college located on the Surajkund-Faridabad Road in Faridabad, police said on Sunday.

A senior police officer said early findings in the probe hint at an affair, but the matter remains under investigation.

According to police, the deceased was identified as Mustaq, a citizen of Bangladesh.

He studied engineering at the college and shared a room with another student on the hostel's second floor, they said.

Police said his roommate was out working during the incident late Saturday evening. When the roommate returned, he was shocked to see Mustaq hanging from a fan, police said.

His roommate and other students immediately brought him down and rushed him to a private hospital, but doctors declared him brought dead, and the police were informed.

A police team reached the spot and sent the body to the mortuary.

''We have informed the deceased's family and the Bangladesh Embassy about the incident. A post-mortem will be conducted after the relatives arrive,'' police said.
