HYDERABAD: A day after being reprimanded by the principal after being caught copying in the exam hall, an engineering student ended his life by hanging in his house at Champapet on Friday.

Sai Sagar, 19, a second year B.Tech. student of Aurora Engineering College at Bandlaguda, was caught copying by the invigilators in the exam hall on Thursday.

The college principal summoned his father Maruthi, a bank employee, and counselled the student not to resort to such malpractice again, the Saroornagar SI, Mohammed Khan, said.

Warned by principal

After a stern warning that he would be debarred from the college if caught copying again, the principal sent away the student. Kumar returned to his house in Green Park colony of Champapet.

He did not eat food in the night nor did he speak to his family members. He confined himself to his study room on the first floor.

His mother Asha went upstairs in the morning as her son did not come out till 10 a.m.

She broke the window panes to peep inside and found her son hanging to the ceiling fan with the bed sheet tied around his neck.

No suicide note left

No suicide note was found. The death shocked Kumar’s family members and residents of the locality.
