Hyderabad: Youth serving life term commits suicide in Erragadda hospital

Hyderabad: A youngster serving a life term for killing his mother allegedly committed suicide at the Mental Health Institute, Erragadda in the city. A Nizamabad district court convicted Feroz Khan recently.

After the conviction verdict was delivered, Feroz Khan was brought to the Cherlapally central prison in the city in the last week of July 2019. As he was displaying signs of depression and suicidal tendencies, prison authorities referred him to the Mental Health Institute and was moved there on August 5th, where he was placed under observation.

On Sunday morning, he was found hanging from an exhaust fan with a towel. Police registered a case and have begun investigations.
