UPSC Aspirant's Body Found In Forested Area Of Delhi's Mukherjee Nagar; Cops Suspect Suicide
In yet another distressing incident, the body of a UPSC aspirant from Rajasthan’s Dausa was found hanging inside bushes in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar on September 20, police said.
The aspirant, Deepak was missing since September 11 and was last seen walking alone towards the forest on CCTV footage. The youth aspirant had successfully cleared the UPSC prelims and was preparing for the main examination. Though the police suspect the case to be a suicide, they have started investigating all the possibilities as they have not received any suicide note at the scene.
After Deepak’s disappearance, police were alerted and launching a search to find out the youth. After discovering the body with the help of the CCTV footages, an autopsy was conducted, cops said. However, the reason behind the unfortunate incident is yet to be identified.
Several cases of aspirants ending their lives have been reported in the recent times. A 22-year-old youth’s body was found hanging inside his rented accommodation in Lucknow last month, and the suicide note recovered by the police noted that the youth lost hope in life as the reason for his act. Asking for forgiveness from mother, the youth wrote that he could not get a job to support his family. He was also preparing for the exams for a long time without being able to clear them.
