During morning hours the student told his mother Hemalatha to fetch hot water to take bath to go to college and went into his room. As he had not returned even after a long time Pritham’s father, Sridhar broke the door open and found the boy hanging from the fan.

With the help of family members and locals, the student was rushed to Yellandu Government Hospital where the doctors declared him dead. Police booked a case and launched a probe into the incident. The reason behind the student’s extreme step was not known.
