Immediately, the deceased's friend alerted the warden, who with the help of others forcefully opened the door and found Raghav having hanged himself. Raghav hails from Chennai and he is presently in third year engineering. Raghav did not leave any suicide note. However, police suspect that Raghav, who failed to clear a subject, was upset about this development and perhaps it could be the reason for him to take the extreme step.

On Sunday, Raghav watched India-South Africa match on television and it was after the completion of the match that he moved into his room, where he hanged himself. It is unsure at what time, he might had committed suicide.
