A 25-year-old student of Greater Noida's NIET college, pursuing Master of Computer Applications (MCA), has died by suicide at his hostel room in Knowledge Park area.

The deceased has been identified as Krishnakant, a resident of Jharkhand. He was found dead on Saturday by the police.

The police, which reached the site after getting information, learned during the initial investigation that Krishnakant lived with another student, Ritik, in room number 79 on the third floor of the hostel and did not go to college on Saturday.

He had told his roommate that he would join the college later. In the afternoon, Krishnakant's father called his roommate, asking him to rush to the hostel immediately.

Krishankant's father told his roommate that he was "about to do something". Alarmed, Ritik contacted his friends at the hostel and asked them to check on Krishankant immediately.

When they reached the room, door was locked from the inside. They broke open the door and found Krishnakant hanging from the ceiling hook. Soon they contacted the police.
