VIJAYAWADA: A 19-year-old BTech student committed suicide by hanging himself at his residence in Nethaji Nagar in Nandigama town in Krishna district on Tuesday midnight. The deceased was identified as Shaikh Abdul Jakriya (19), who is pursuing an engineering degree at a private engineering college in Vijayawada.
According to Nandigama police inspector Ramakrishna, the incident came to light on Wednesday morning when Jakriya’s parents went to wake him up, only to find him hanging from the ceiling. Upon information, cops reached the spot and examined the scene. Cops said that they are yet to ascertain the reason behind the extreme step but suspect that it could be a combination of failure in love and poor academic performance in the semester exams.
Cops said they have examined his mobile phone and found text messages expressing sadness to his friends over his failure in love and academics. “We are conducting inquiries based on SMSes on the phone,” Ramakrishna said.
