Kalyan , Maharashtra:
The two boys who were named in the suicide note of a 19-year-old engineering student who killed himself in Thane on Friday, have been booked for abetment to suicide and conspiracy.
The student, Nitin Padalkar, had jumped in front of a train between the Vithalwadi and Ulhasnagar stations on the outskirts of Mumbai in Thane district. He was a second-year Electronics and Telecommunications student at the Ramrao Adik Institute of Technology in Navi Mumbai.
A suicide note recovered from his body had accused two classmates of harassing him.
"During the inquiry of this case, the boy's father and his sister have speculated about his death. They also named two boys from the same college and filed a case against them. We recovered a suicide note and we are studying it," said SG Nirmal, Senior police inspector, Government Railway Police.
ND Patil, the principal of the college that Nitin studied in, told NDTV that it seems to be a case of enmity between the boys. "The two boys are his classmates, so we are not treating this as a case of ragging," he said.
Nitin's distraught family wants those responsible for his death to be punished.
"There were two boys who harassed him... He used to come home and tell his sister and mother that two boys from the college harass him a lot. During the exams they used to disturb him a lot. They used to snatch his paper and fight with him and my son used to come home and complain about it... He had written a note before committing suicide. In that, he mentioned the names of the two boys who harassed him and also stated that it was the reason he committed suicide," said Badup Padalkar, Nitin's father.
