AHMEDABAD: A 16-year-old boy, who was pursuing his diploma in hotel management, died by suicide at his house in Ranip on Monday. His uncle who had brought food for him discovered his body hanging from the ceiling fan, said police.
The deceased has been identified as Neel Patil, a resident of Sharad Colony near Sabarmati Ashram.
His father, Kanu Patil, is a head constable with the Gomtipur police. When the incident took place, Kanu with his wife and younger son was in Uttarakhand on a tour.
“The family left for the tour on Sunday. Before leaving, they asked Neel’s uncle to take care of him in their absence. When his uncle brought food for him on Monday morning, he discovered the teenager’s body,” said police, adding, “The Patils immediately returned from the tour and reached the city on Tuesday morning. As they are still in shock, we have still not questioned them.”
An officer said, “Neel had asked to be excused from the trip citing personal reasons. He had been under pressure for the past few weeks.” Ranip police have registered a case of accidental death and are investigating the case.
