A 19-year-old student allegedly died by suicide by jumping from the hostel building of a private university, police on Monday said.

The incident took place at the hostel of Meerut's Subharti University around 11.45 pm on Sunday, Station House Officer (SHO) Prajant Tyagi told PTI.

The Station House Officer said that a student named Shashi Ranjan Kumar died by suicide by jumping from the roof of the hostel building.

The Station House Officer said that Shashi Ranjan Kumar was a first year BCA student.
