DIBRUGARH: The body of Ratnesh Kumar Mishra (21 years), who allegedly died by suicide at AIIMS-Bhubaneswar was brought to his hometown Dibrugarh today. His cremation was performed in front of his relatives in the evening.
According to reports, Ratnesh Kumar Mishra, a second-year MBBS student, allegedly died by suicide at his hostel room in AIIMS-Bhubaneswar on Wednesday. He was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his hostel room. Before hanging himself, he sent an audio message to his younger brother, requesting their father not to sell their land. He also asked his brother to become a doctor but stay in Assam.
In the note found in his room, Mishra said nobody was responsible for his death.
His second-year examination was supposed to start today, and he returned to the campus from home after a 10-day vacation on Tuesday. His father Baidyanath Mishra had accompanied him back to Bhubaneswar this time. Mishra was supposed to visit the temple town of Puri on Wednesday along with his father, who was staying at a hotel outside the campus.
“Ratnesh was a bright student and he was doing well but why he took the drastic step we don’t know. The whole family was heartbroken after hearing the news. We are very much disturbed after hearing the news,” said a neighbour.
Ratnesh was a resident of the Maijan area in Dibrugarh. Meanwhile, Bhubaneswar Police has started an investigation into the case.
