In another incident, a man jumped into a drain in West Delhi, died.
A Kolkata boy sent to a drug rehabilitation centre in Burdwan by his parents committed suicide. He was supposed to appear in this year’s Madhyamik examination, the police was told by the in charge of the rehabilitation centre on Monday.
The police suspects, as Madhyamik began two days ago and he had to skip his papers, he got depressed and hanged self to death.
Sixteen years old Anurag Dubey, a resident of South Kolkata, was a student of class X when he was detected with critical drug addiction.

Mrs Payel Dubey, the mother of the deceased mother, said: “My son got addicted last year and he had no chance to improve here.
We had to shift him to elsewhere following a psychiatrist’s suggestion.” She added: “My son was suffering from severe depression too.”
So Anurag was taken to a rehabilitation centre run by an NGO beside the Agricultural Farmhouse on Kalna road junction in the outskirts of Burdwan town.
The authority helped him to continue with his studies and he was admitted in a private English medium school. The school, after examining his intelligence quotient, offered him a berth in class VIII.
Every day at 3 p.m., the centre arranged regular counseling for the inmates. At the counseling session on yesterday afternoon, Anurag was present but he’d expressed his anxiety that instead of appearing in the Madhyamik this year he would have to start classes in class VIII.
The guards with the centre meanwhile found Anurag hanging from the ceiling near the veranda. His body was pulled down immediately and shifted to the Burdwan Medical College & Hospital, where he succumbed within an hour, police said. The police have initiated a probe and is waiting for the post-mortem report for further action.
