In a suspected case of suicide, a 20-year-old man was found hanging from a railway overbridge near Bundi railway station in Rajasthan's Kota district on Sunday, police said.
The man was identified as Ajay Kumar Meena, a resident of Bagawada village of Kota, they said.
Meena was an unemployed arts graduate. He was fond of leading a flashy lifestyle, police officer, Bundi Sadar police station, Satyanarayan Parashar said.
Three months ago, he lied to his family that he had secured a job in Indian Railways and had been posted at Bundi railway station. Following this, he started living in Bundi, he said.

It appears to be a case of suicide as no injury marks were found on his body. No suicide note has been recovered, he said.
A case has been registered under section 174 (unnatural death) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The body was handed over to Meena's family after a post-mortem, he added.
