Hyderabad, Sep 17, 2016: A first-year student at Hyderabad Central University allegedly attempted suicide in his hostel room early this morning.
He was rushed to a hospital where he died during treatment.
No suicide note has reportedly been found.
Praveen, who was reportedly from a backward class, was the resident of Mahbubnagar district and had taken admission in the university in July this year.
Police is investigating the case.
In January, the suicide of a Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula at Hyderabad University had led to massive protests, following which the university has been closed to outsiders including the media.
