A 20-year-old student from Bangladesh, pursuing engineering course at the National Institute of Technology - Tiruchi, allegedly ended his life in the hostel room on Saturday evening.
Police gave the name of the deceased as B. Sourav Sen, a second year B.Tech student of Computer Science. Police sources said no suicide note was recovered from his hostel room. The hostel mates of Sourav apparently got suspicious as there was no response from his room as it was bolted from inside. The door was broken open and the student was found dead. The body was sent to the Thuvakudi Government Hospital for post mortem. Police sources said information about Sourav's death had been conveyed to his parents.

Away from the memorial of saint-composer Thyagaraja in Thiruvaiyaru, where his 179th aradhana is marked by five days of uninterrupted concerts, unchavritti and rendering of the Pancharatna kritis, a parallel aradhana is under way in Thanjavur. In the narrow Varagappa Iyer Lane off the bustling South Main Street, devotees queue up at a house named after Thyagaraja. It is here that the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Anjaneya, worshipped by Thyagaraja himself, are preserved, along with a portrait of the saint-composer said to have been drawn by his disciples.
