Later, they called the police and brought down Nilotjyoti Barman by cutting the rope while he was still alive. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, however, he died before reaching hospital.
Nilotjyoti Barman was staying in the hostel as a hosteler for about two years after enrolling in class 7 in the school.
Talking to media, a school authority said, “Since he returned to the hostel two days back after coming from home, we did not notice any unusual behaviour. He probably did not want to stay in the hostel.”
The cause of his death will be determined after the post-mortem examination.
