LUCKNOW: “Sorry Mummy, I am going and I am not in a relationship with any girl,” read the suicide note left behind by a 19-year-old student found hanging in his house on Friday.

According to police, Bhanu Pratap Singh (19), a resident of Jankipuram , was pursuing diploma from a private college on Sitapur Road. Bhanu had not gone to college on Friday.

When he did not come out from his room till late afternoon, his sister went to call him but didn’t get any response despite repeated knocks. When the door was opened, Bhanu was found hanging from the ceiling fan.

Station house officer, Jankipuram, Mohammad Ashraf said, “Prima facie, it is a case of suicide. The autopsy report ascertains that he died due to hanging. We have also recovered a suicide note from his room where he apologizes to his mother and has written that he is not in relationship with any girl.”

“We asked the family members but no one claimed to know why he clarified about not being in a relationship. They told us that he was depressed about something but refused to share anything when asked,” he added.

This is the third such case in the city. On Thursday, Shibani Roy Chowdhary fell to death from the window of a fifth floor apartment in Mall Avenue. A note was recovered from her room where she apologized to her mother.
