Close on the heels of a Manipuri student who was found dead in ‘mysterious circumstances’ in his college hostel last month, another student committed suicide here by hanging.
The deceased was identified as Jackio Heisnam (23), a second year student of Mechanical Engineering in Bangalore Institute of Engineering in Chandapura taluk in Bangalore district, police told on Friday.
Police said Jackio had a heated argument with his 19-year-old girl friend, also from Manipur, as she had not been answering his phone calls for the past few days.
Though she explained that she was busy with her exams, Jackio suspected her of cheating on him and started shouting at her. In the course of the argument at his rented room in Suddaguntepalya late last night, Jackio reportedly picked up a wire and tied it around his neck and hanged himself from the fan in front of the girl, police said.
Immediately, the girl cut the wire and called out to his friend in the next room and rushed Jackio to a private hospital where he was declared brought dead,sources said.
‘Jackio’s parents have been informed and they are on their way to Bangalore. We will be questioning them as well as his girlfriend, who is a second year student in BA in a city college,’ police said.
Jackio becomes the third Northeastern student to lose his life in the country following Dana Sangma and Richard Loitam.
