A NEET aspirant from Delhi was found dead in his PG room in Kota on Wednesday, police said on Thursday, adding that the family suspected foul play. The deceased has been identified as Lucky Choudhary, 20, from Patna in Bihar, and was residing in a PG located in Sector-2 under Vigyan Nagar Police Station, PTI reported.
According to police, Lucky had been living in Kota for two years and studying for the NEET exam online. He was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his room.
Circle Inspector Mukesh Meena said the room was secured from inside at two points. “We have found no sign of foul play at this stage,” he said. “But the investigation is ongoing.”
Student in adjoining rooms goes missing
The family of the deceased also noted that another student from Bihar, Rahul, who was another PG tenant and lived in an adjoining room, is missing.
Lucky Choudhary’s father also raised suspicions about the manner in which his son died, claiming that a youth named Rahul, who was not a student, had been visiting Lucky’s room with his girlfriend on multiple occasions.
“In fact, Lucky had disclosed to my daughter that he had borrowed ₹ 40,000 and was being pressured to return the money. I already transferred ₹ 10,000 to Lucky online and was going to pay the outstanding amount as well,” said the father.
ASI Lal Singh, meanwhile, said that the body was handed over to Lucky’s family members after the postmortem on Thursday. The police have registered a case against the family under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
