Bengaluru engineer hangs himself in Noida hotel room

A 29-year-old engineer at a mobile phone company in Bengaluru committed suicide by hanging himself at a hotel room here on Sunday night, police said.

Tejvir had come to Noida with his senior, Amit Kumar, and both were staying at a sector 2 hotel in separate rooms. Tejvir, who got married just a month ago, called his girlfriend and said he was going to commit suicide, said Anil Shahi, the incharge of Sector-20 police station.

The woman got the hotel number online and alerted the hotel staff. The hotel staff informed Kumar who rushed to Tejvir’s room and knocked on the door but there was no response, Shahi said.

When the door was opened with duplicate keys, Tejvir’s body was found hanging from the ceiling fan. Police have sent the body for post-mortem and started investigation in the case.

Tejvir is said to have been in a relationship with a woman who ditched him and he had to marry another woman under family pressure, according to the officer.
