Hyderabad: Apprehensive about a poor showing in the IIT-JEE entrance for the second time around, a 20-yearold youth committed suicide by hanging himself, at Chaitanya junior college hostel in LB Nagar, on Saturday night.
The victim was identified as Shashimant Reddy of Aler in Nalgonda. After finishing Intermediate, Shashimant had gone for long-term coaching for IIT at Chaitanya residential junior college in LB Nagar.
When he appeared for IIT entrance immediately after Intermediate last year, Shashimant secured 154 marks and after taking longterm coaching this year, he appeared for the entrance again but did not do well in the exam.
IIT-JEE results are expected to be announced on May 18 this year but Shahshimant feared he could not crack the exam for the second time in a row.
“His friends told us that Shashimant performed very badly even in the ISAT–2012 exam held on Saturday and he was depressed,” LB Nagar sub-inspector (SI) K Naveen Kumar said.
Shashimant used to share a hostel room with two other students and, when they went for dinner at about 8pm, he committed suicide by hanging himself in his room.
“He told his roommates that he was not hungry. When they returned to the room after dinner, the door was locked. As Shashimant was not opening the door for a long time, one of the roommates peeped through the door crack and saw him hanging from the ceiling fan by a bedsheet,” the SI said.
Police found a suicide note in the room in which Shashimant writes that since he had not done well in the IIT entrance, he had decided to end his life.
Shashimant’s father Rajiv Reddy, an automobile mechanic, alleged that his son committed suicide due to negligence of the college administration.
However, based on the suicide note, police booked a case under section 174 (Suspicious death) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).
