Latur: In a shocking incident, a 21-year-old MBBS student of the Vilasrao Deshmukh Government Medical College in Latur, Maharashtra, was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her hostel room. Prima facie, it is a case of suicide, police said.
The student committed suicide by hanging herself by tying her saree to the ceiling fan in her hostel room when her other roommates went to the library to take preparation for the upcoming MBBS exam.
Police said the deceased was a first-year student of the MBBS course and was staying in a government hostel located on the college premises. “On Tuesday morning, when her friends knocked on the door of the student’s room they didn’t get any response.
