An MBBS student studying at a private medical college here allegedly hanged himself to death in his hostel room, police said.

 


Joel Joseph (20), a native of Kerala, took the extreme step last evening, they said. In a press release issued by the Christian Medical College and Hospital (CMCH), Medical Superintendent William Bhatti said, "He was a brilliant student and had just come back on January 8 after winter vacations". The victim's parents, who are also in the medical profession, live in Kuwait. Bhatti said the parents have been informed about the tragedy.
