No suicide note has been found yet. (Express) Deepak Kumar Meena arrived in Delhi in July this year to prepare for the UPSC mains exams. On September 20, the day the exams began, the body of the 22-year-old UPSC aspirant was found hanging from a tree in a forest area near a coaching institute library in Northwest Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar.
Deepak had gone missing on September 11.
“His body was found in a wooded area near Dussehra Ground on Friday (September 20),” said Jitendra Kumar Meena, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northwest).
Hailing from Dausa in Rajasthan, Deepak had cleared the UPSC prelims exam and was preparing for the mains exam at a private coaching institute in Mukherjee Nagar.
A security guard at the institute had allegedly seen the deceased leaving from one of the libraries the day he went missing. “He left at 9:48 am on September 10… Only when his father came searching for him a few days later, we got to know of his absence… Other students said he was a serious student,” claimed Suraj Maurya, the guard.
According to police, CCTV footage from the day he went missing showed Deepak holding his bag and walking alone towards the area where his body was found later.
“Prima facie, it looks like a case of suicide. A probe is underway,” DCP Meena said.
However, no note has been found yet, police said.
The body of the deceased was taken to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital for post-mortem, said the police.
The private coaching institute where he was studying refused to comment on the matter, citing the police investigation.
