Imphal/Bangalore, May 04 2012:
Close on the heels of the case of Richard Loitam, who was found dead in "mysterious circumstances" in his college hostel last month, another Manipuri student allegedly committed suicide by hanging.
The deceased identified as Jackio Heisnam (23) s/o Heisnam Chaoba of Khoyathong Polem, was a second year student of Mechanical Engineering in Bangalore Institute of Engineering in Chandapura taluka in Bangalore district.
According to Bangalore Police, Jackio had a heated argument with his 19-year-old girl friend, also from Manipur, as she had not been answering his phone calls for the past few days.
Though she explained that she was busy with her exams, Jackio suspected her of cheating on him and started shouting at her.
In the course of the argument at his rented room in Suddaguntepalya late last night, Jackio picked up a wire and twisted it around his neck and hung himself from the fan in front of the girl.
Immediately, the girl cut the wire and called out to his friend in the next room and rushed Jackio to a private hospital where he was declared brought dead.
