Bengaluru: Engineering graduate fails to secure foreign varsity admission, kills self

He took the extreme step when he was alone at home at 10 am

Depressed over missing out on admission at a US university, a 22-year-old youth allegedly killed himself at Magadi town on Thursday, police said.

Sai Sanvit, son of businessman Kiran Kumar who had done BE in architecture from a reputed city college, took the extreme step when he was alone at home at 10 am. With dreams of a foreign degree, Sanvit applied to a US university three months ago with his friends. Except Sanvit, all the others secured admission, and this disturbed him greatly.

He was found hanging from the ceiling using a sari as a rope. No death note was found. Magadi police filed a case of unnatural death.
