In a suspected case of suicide, a 22-year-old nursing student was found dead with a cannula in her hand at her PG accommodation in east Delhi’s New Ashok Nagar area, police said on Tuesday.

On Sunday, a PCR call was received that a woman was lying unconscious in her room. A police team reached the spot and found the room locked from inside, a police officer said.

The door was broken open in front of police and the woman was found lying on her bed with a cannula in her hand and two IV drips hanging from the ceiling fan, the officer said.

Her family members were informed and the body would be handed over to them after post-mortem examination on Tuesday, they said.

It is suspected to be a case of suicide. However, no suicide note was found at the spot. The case is being probed from all possible angles, they said.
