A 17-year-old student was found dead in an apparent suicide at his aunt’s house in Una town, Himachal Pradesh. Police suspect that the young man, identified as Pankaj from Kalyana village in Hamirpur district, took his own life after failing his exams. Pankaj, who was enrolled in a Bachelor of Technology program at a private institute in Pandoga, was found hanging in his room on Friday night in Baihali Mohalla, while his family was having dinner. Despite repeated calls from his parents to join them, he did not respond. Concerned, the family members went to his room, where they discovered his body hanging with a scarf.
The family immediately brought him down and informed the police. According to Una Superintendent of Police Rakesh Singh, no suicide note was found at the scene, and statements from the family have been recorded. The scarf used for the suicide has been confiscated, and further investigation is ongoing. Pankaj’s father is a shopkeeper, and his mother is a housewife.
