A NEET exam candidate from Delhi was found dead in his rented room in Kota on Wednesday, the police said on Thursday. His family suspects foul play.

The 20-year-old, Lucky Choudhary, originally from Patna, Bihar, was living in a PG in Sector-2 under Vigyan Nagar Police Station, according to PTI.

Police said Lucky had been in Kota for two years preparing for the NEET exam online. He was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his room.

Circle Inspector Mukesh Meena said the room was bolted from the inside at two points. “We have found no sign of foul play at this stage,” he added, underlining that investigations are ongoing.

Meanwhile, the family drew attention to a separate incident, noting that another student from Bihar, Rahul, who stayed in the adjoining room at the same PG, has gone missing.

Lucky’s maternal uncle, Koshal Kumar Choudhary, said Lucky wouldn’t have committed suicide.

“Lucky was not the kind of person who would commit suicide.” Speaking outside the mortuary, he alleged foul play and suspected the involvement of a youth named Rahul, also from Patna, who is currently missing, reported PTI.

No suicide note was recovered, and Lucky’s mobile phone and wallet were also missing, Koshal added.

Lucky Choudhary’s father also expressed doubts over the circumstances of his son’s death, alleging that a youth named Rahul, who was not a student, frequently visited Lucky’s room along with his girlfriend.

He added that Lucky had told his sister he borrowed Rs 40,000 and was under pressure to repay it. The father said he had already sent Rs 10,000 online and planned to send the rest.

ASI Lal Singh said the body was handed over to Lucky’s family members on Thursday after the post-mortem. Police have registered a case under Section 194 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).
