In a suspected case of suicide, a 29-year-old doctor pursuing his MD was found hanging in his rented accommodation here, police said on Wednesday.
Originally from Tiruvannamalai in Tamil Nadu, Giri Prasad was pursuing his MD from a medical college in Meerut and lived on rent in Gokuldham Colony within the Bhavanpur police station limits.
Around 11 am on Wednesday, a classmate of Prasad informed police that the medic was found hanging in his room.
