In a recent development, the Rajasthan police on Friday registered a case of murder against six persons, including a classmate of the student, the hostel owner and four others in the case of a 18-year-old medical aspirant who allegedly committed suicide in his hostel room in Kota.
Parents of the deceased Manjot Chhabra, a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Rampu, alleged that their son was killed as they found his hands tied behind when they found his body in his room in Kota hostel.
Raising further suspicions over the issue, Manjot's parents said the hostel room may have been locked from the inside at the time of the incident, but the windows in the room were broken.
As for the suicide notes, the family of the student said it could have been written by anyone. They also held the hostel administration responsible for the act.
Manjot's parents have approached Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to seek justice for their dead son.
The police were called to the hostel soon after the incident had come to light on Thursday. They had not taken the student's body to the mortuary and waited for his family members to arrive.
Suicide note
As per reports earlier, the student had left a suicide note in which he showered birthday wishes for his father. In another note, the teen wrote "Sorry", and further mentioned that no one should be held responsible for this extreme step.
"I have done it of my own free will. So, please don't trouble my friends and parents," one of the notes read.
"Happy birthday Papa," was written in another note, pasted on the wall.
Class 12 topper
The student Manjot had earlier this year enrolled with a coaching centre in Kota to prepare for NEET.
The victim was a class 12 topper and had come to Kota along with three schoolmates from his town in April. The four friends lived in the same hostel in separate rooms.
The alleged suicide happens to be the 17th case this year in the education city.
