Chaitanya suicide: Cops say note was written by victim

HYDERABAD: Cyberabad police, probing the death by suicide of a 16-year-old Intermediate student on the Narsingi campus of Sri Chaitanya Residential Junior College, on Monday confirmed that a suicide note found on the victim’s body was written by him.

However, they are awaiting an authentication from the Forensic Science Laboratory.

On the note being circulated on social media platforms, the police said that the victim’s friends had found it in one of his pockets and that it was not immediately handed over to the police.

The police compared the handwriting in the note with the handwriting in the victim’s books to conclude that he had written it. The note detailed the harassment he had been facing.

“Once the FSL also confirms its authenticity, that would become a strong evidence in the case to fix the accused, who are already arrested and in judicial remand,” an investigator said.

On Monday, reports, quoting the remand report of the arrested accused, claimed that the victim was beaten not only a day before the death, but also in the intervening hours of his meeting with his father around 8 pm and end of study hour at 10 pm.

Investigators, however, said that the reports were not true and the case was still under investigation.
