BALLIA: A 20-year-old student, Roshan Verma, preparing for IIT in Rajasthan's Kota allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from a ceiling fan at his native home in Uttar Pradesh's Ballia district, police said on Tuesday.
Roshan was sleeping with his family members on the verandah of the house on Monday night. At some point during the night, he left the verandah and went to his room, where he used a towel to hang himself from the ceiling fan.
Roshan, who had recently completed his Class 12 exams, was back home on holiday at the time of the incident, as confirmed by the police.
His family was unaware of the tragedy until the following morning when they discovered what had happened.
The family shared that Roshan had been experiencing severe headaches for the past few days and was seeking medical treatment for them. It is suspected that his health condition may have played a role in his decision to take his own life, as mentioned by SHO Dharam Veer Singh.
The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, according to the SHO.
