Overview
- Police found 25-year-old Alta Bharat Kumar Reddy hanging inside his locked rented flat in Old Rajinder Nagar after a PCR call at 2:38 p.m. on Monday.
- Investigators recovered a suicide note that police say referred to study-related depression and the body was taken for medico-legal formalities.
- The Rajinder Nagar police, Crime Team and FSL documented the scene and the Fire Brigade forced entry to the flat; the preliminary inquiry has found no sign of foul play.
- Officers told reporters the aspirant had lived in the flat about a year, had attended coaching until July and then switched to self-study, and his roommate had left for home a week earlier.
- The incident highlights the intense, long-term pressures in Delhi’s civil-service coaching ecosystem and could prompt calls for better mental-health support and outreach for exam candidates as investigations continue.
