AHMEDABAD: A 20-year-old student of Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology (DAIICT) committed suicide on Friday by hanging himself in his hostel room on the institute campus. The deceased has been identified as Yashpalsinh Chauhan , a native of Simalwara in Dungarpur district of Rajasthan . He was a second semester BTech student.An official of the Infocity police station of Gandhinagar said that Chauhan ended his life at a time his roommate was away for vacations. A staffer of the institute, Sureshji Solanki, saw Chauhan’s body hanging in the room at around 8am on Friday and informed the authorities and police.“Police have not found any suicide note from his room so it is difficult to say why he took the extreme step,” said a police official. Sources at the institute said that Chauhan was supposed to go to his native place on Friday with his father who had met him on Thursday.“Chauhan and his father were together all though the day on Thursday. His father had gone to stay at a relative’s place in Gandhinagar on Thursday night,” a source in the institute said. “On Friday morning, Chauhan’s father kept calling him but the calls were not answered. The anxious father rushed to the institute where he found his son dead.” Sources said that Chauhan was a brilliant student and very polite with people. Sources also said that an internal inquiry has been initiated by the institute.
