"He was supposed to leave the AFMC hostel on Sunday after the festival concluded but he missed his bus to Beed and stayed back," senior inspector Satyajit Admane of the Wanowrie police said.His parents came to Pune on Monday morning. "The student's father, a medical practitioner, told us that his son was on medication for depression. He was a bright student. Based on circumstances, we are prima facie not ruling out a death by suicide," Admane said."The student had posted a note on the display picture (DP) slot of his messaging application mentioning that he was fed up with life and his treatment for depression. He also sent a message to his mother on her cellphone," the officer said."The student's mother checked his DP after going through the message and called the Pune police control room from Beed around 5.30am. She informed the police about the message and the fact that her son had been at the AFMC event since May 8. She also told the police that his phone was switched off," Admane said.The police then got in touch with the AFMC authorities, who carried out an elaborate search of the premises. "The student was found dead in a sitting posture on a commode in the washroom with blood on the floor and a knife lying nearby. His belongings were also found nearby. The AFMC doctors later examined and declared him dead," the officer said.The AFMC's public relations officer told TOI, "No official statement is being issued by the college regarding the incident. A police investigation is going on."Admane said, "No one saw the student going to the washroom early Monday morning. Preliminary investigation established that the student ordered a knife online. It was found lying near the body and we recovered it. The student had been undergoing treatment for depression because of low attendance and academic pressure for about a year at the AIIMS-Bhopal."

Responding to several applications seeking financial assistance for medical treatment, CM Yogi assured full government support. He instructed officials to promptly prepare cost estimates and submit them to the administration without delay.

Meeting with doctors Earlier on Saturday night, CM Yogi chaired a meeting with over 125 doctors at the Gorakhnath Temple conference hall. He emphasised that no patient should return untreated and that financial constraints must not hinder treatment, particularly in critical cases. He praised the medical teams for facilitating tele-ICU support from Medanta Hospital and for involving retired AIIMS doctors in consultations. The chief minister also announced that CT scan and MRI services would begin next month at the MGU campus hospital in Balapar, which is already equipped with advanced infrastructure. Inspection CM Yogi also conducted an extensive inspection of ongoing development works across Gorakhpur on Saturday night. He reviewed construction progress at eight key locations, including Jageshwar Pasi Chauraha, Harhawa Phatak, Om Nagar, Ali Nagar, and Pandey Hata. The chief minister stressed the importance of speed, transparency, and public convenience in all infrastructure projects. He directed officials to ensure that fair compensation is provided to individuals whose homes or shops were demolished for road widening or heritage corridor development. He also voiced concern over waterlogging issues and instructed the implementation of effective drainage systems, particularly near Hathwa Phatak, in coordination with the railway authorities. Inspecting the construction of a railway overbridge at Hathwa Phatak, CM Yogi directed that the project be completed within 18 months.
