Times of India reports that the medico was depressed about his result and was also mentally frustrated due to several unknown reasons. Besides, the medico also had an accident two weeks ago which resulted in a fracture in his left hand. According to the daily, after the accident, the medico became more depressed. In fact, his mother also visited the hostel on November 19 (Thursday) morning in order to meet him and comfort him.

She left in the afternoon, however, when she called her son later, she did not receive any response from him. She became suspicious and anxious and immediately contacted the hostel warden. She requested him to check on her son but when the warden rushed to the hostel room, it was too late and he found the medico dead in his room.

The medico's body was spotted hanging from the ceiling. Police are still investigating the case and the reason which might have driven the medico to take the drastic step is yet to be revealed.
