Aviation student commits suicide

An aircraft maintenance science student allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself at his home in Dwarka of south-west Delhi on Monday afternoon, police said.

Shyam S, 23, a native of Kerala’s Kollam district lived in a rented accommodation in Dwarka sector 23.

He was found hanging by a ceiling fan at 1:40 pm.

“His friends had asked him to accompany them to a tuition class in the morning, but he refused saying he had stomach ache.

“When they returned after two hours, they found him hanging,” a police official said.
Shyam was rushed to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in Harinagar, where he was declared brought dead.

He was a student of Center For Civil Aviation Training in Dwarka sector 19 and had returned from a visit back home on Sunday.

“The deceased has left behind a suicide note where he stated that he holds no one responsible for his act and that he was taking the extreme step because of personal issues,” a police official added.

Police have preserved Shyam’s body for a post-mortem and informed his family members about the incident.

“The exact cause behind the death can only be confirmed after his family members come to the city,” the official said.

Police have also taken statements of Shyam’s friends and batchmates.
