Pune: A National Defence Academy (NDA) cadet allegedly committed suicide by hanging on Sunday.
The deceased has been identified as Alekh Jaiswal, a fifth term student of the three-year course at the academy.
“He was found hanging in his room on the ground floor of the ‘H’ squadron at 5.15 pm. The cadet was immediately rushed to the Military Hospital, Khadakwasla, but could not be revived,” a statement from the Defence PRO said.
