Nagpur: A 16-year-old student from Chandrapur, who was preparing for the IIT entrance examination, was found hanging in his hostel room at IINSIGHT Residential Junior College in Nagpur on Friday.

The incident came to light after the student failed to leave his room to attend classes or have his meals. When he did not respond, his classmates alerted the hostel warden. The door was subsequently broken open, and the student was found hanging inside.

Following the incident, Zone 1 Deputy Commissioner of Police S Rushikesh Reddy and other police personnel rushed to the college premises. During a search of the room, police reportedly recovered a suicide note in which the student stated that no one should be blamed for his death.

Police have initiated an investigation to establish the circumstances leading to the student's death.
