A 25-year-old civil services candidate was found hanging inside his rented apartment in central Delhi's prominent coaching hub of Old Rajendra Nagar. Authorities identified the deceased as Alta Bharat Kumar Reddy, a native of Andhra Pradesh. The local police received an emergency alert regarding the incident on Monday afternoon at around 2:38 PM, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement officials.
Locked Flat Forced Open with Fire Department Support
Reddy had been residing in the rented accommodation for roughly one year while preparing for the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examinations. He shared the premises with a flatmate who had returned to his hometown about a week prior, leaving Reddy alone in the apartment. Upon arriving at the scene, officials found the entrance locked from the inside. Personnel from the fire department were subsequently deployed to assist in breaking open the door to gain access.

Specialised crime investigation units alongside experts from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) conducted a detailed inspection of the premises. Investigators located a suicide note at the spot, which mentioned struggles with intense academic pressure and depression. Preliminary findings have not indicated any foul play or external conspiracy behind the student's death.
Post-Mortem Findings Awaited to Establish Final Cause
The body has been transferred for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the precise circumstances and medical timeline surrounding the fatality. Police officials stated that further steps will proceed on the basis of the autopsy findings and scientific evidence gathered by forensic teams, while formal procedures and communication with the family remain underway.
