Mumbai, October 21 (Daily Kiran) : A second-year engineering student at the Institute of Chemical Technology (ICT) in Mumbai tragically took his own life in his hostel room on the night of October 21. The student, identified as Siddhesh Patil, was originally from Nashik and had been living on campus.
Reports indicate that Siddhesh had been struggling with depression and was undergoing treatment. On the day of the incident, he messaged his doctor expressing suicidal thoughts. Alarmed by this message, the doctor immediately notified Siddhesh’s family. They then reached out to his friends living in the hostel, urging them to check on him. Unfortunately, before his friends could arrive, Siddhesh had already ended his life.
The Matunga police responded promptly to the scene and have since taken the body for a post-mortem examination. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the suicide is underway, with police interviewing friends and family members to uncover any additional factors that may have contributed to this tragic event.

Authorities are urging those struggling with mental health issues to seek help and support.
