“Rahul was studying in third year. The college faculty and director have informed me that they had not seen any sign of depression or anything that troubled Rahul in curriculum in his first two years. We had asked few of his friends if they had found any odd behavior in him, but it went in vain. However, reason of suicide has not been confirmed yet. Police are investigating the matter,” said Vidya Yeravdekar, principal director of Symbiosis society.
