HARIDWAR: A second year M Tech student of Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee allegedly committed suicide in his hostel room in the institute on Wednesday morning.

Udai Biradare, who belonged to Latur district of Maharashtra, is said to have hung himself with a rope from the ceiling fan of his room number DG 8 in Cautley Bhawan hostel of the institute.

A suicide note in Marathi and addressed to his parents was found beneath the student's laptop, said police officer Renu Loheni.

Sub-inspector Subhash said the police were informed on Wednesday morning about the incident. "The door was broken after we found it bolted from inside," he said. The body has been sent for postmortem.

"Once we receive the postmortem report, we can ascertain the exact time of the suicide. Prima facie, it appears the suicide was committed in the wee hours of the morning," Subhash said.

When contacted, the institute authorities refused to comment.

On February 6, 2011, third year B Tech student Manish Kumar had reportedly ended his life by jumping from the fifth floor of the hostel building.
