In a rather unfortunate incident, a 23-year-old MBA student of ITS college allegedly committed suicide in a flat in Mahagun Mascot Society in Crossings Republik, Ghaziabad, late yesterday night.
The deceased has been identified as Shivesh Singh, a resident of Gonda, who was living in Flat No. 1814 on the 18th floor of Osimo tower of the society.
Shivesh was found hanging from the balcony grill from a noose made from a bed sheet. Police said his feet were touching the ground when he was found. The flat has three rooms and was occupied by five boys, including Shivesh. Ghaziabad News
His roommate had already left for Delhi in the morning. The other flatmates told the police that Shivesh had locked the room from inside at around 9.30 pm last night.
According to the police, the victim was first seen at the balcony at around 11 pm by a neigbour from the balcony of the neighbouring flat. The neighbour did not suspect anything at the time, but Shivesh was once again seen in the same position at around 3.30 am after the neighbour stepped out to the balcony for some fresh air after going to the bathroom.

“It was strange to see a person standing motionless — and in the same position — for over three hours. The neighbour took a closer look and found that the boy had a noose around his neck and was hanging. The neighbour informed the society’s security guards, who informed us,” said Jawahar Lal Tomar, the investigating officer. Apartment management software
Although no suicide note was found at the spot, officials maintained that the act could have been the fallout of a bad love affair. However, officials added that prima facie it seemed the deceased was stressed out, and had also consumed alcohol before taking the drastic step.
Speaking to City Spidey, RWA members of the society said the balconies of flats on higher floors are fitted with iron grills for safety reasons. “We were informed about the incident by security guards of the society at around 3.30 am today. The police and the family members were immediately informed,” said Nishant Joshi, an RWA member of the society.
“The body has been sent for post-mortem and the report is awaited. Although the incident looks like a case of suicide but we are investigating the matter,” confirmed Tomar.
