Nursing Student, 19, Found Hanging In Hostel Room In Delhi Coaching Hub

In a tragic incident at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Sadashivanagar, a 22-year-old MTech student named Gopal was found dead in his hostel room on Thursday. This marks the second such incident in the past two weeks, with a 19-year-old BTech student taking his life on August 6.

Upon discovering his room, Gopal's fellow hostel mates alerted authorities to his absence. A handwritten note was discovered in his room, suggesting personal reasons for his decision. The institute has registered the death as an unnatural cause and ordered a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. The body will be handed over to Gopal's family after the examination.

The family of the deceased has been informed of the incident, and the institute has conveyed their condolences to both the family and friends of the young man. IISc has made a public statement expressing their commitment to maintaining a safe and inclusive environment for all students. They have urged anyone in need of mental health support to contact the 24x7 emergency call service provided by the institute, as well as external helplines such as TeleMANAS, NIMHANS, and SAHAI.

Further investigation into the incident is ongoing, with the police and institute authorities working together to uncover any additional details.
