A 20-year-old BSc student of Tezpur University in Assam was found hanging in his hostel room on Wednesday afternoon. The door was locked from inside. Police suspect suicide. The roommate returned from class at 1.30 pm and saw the body through a ventilator.
Sonitpur SSP Barun Purkayastha said the body was sent to Kanaklata Civil Hospital for postmortem. A diary was recovered but its contents have not been disclosed. Students told reporters the diary contains notes about life and death. The body was handed over to the family at 7 pm. Police are recording statements and the university is cooperating.

Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same core facts: a 20-year-old Tezpur University BSc student was found hanging in his locked hostel room, and a diary was recovered. Hindustan Times gives the full official account from the SSP and the registrar, timetable, procedure, family handover, without editorialising. NDTV adds the detail that students say the diary contains notes about his life and death, which police have withheld. The uniform official framing is neutral-report, but NDTV’s inclusion of the student claim introduces an interpretive layer the other omits. The diary’s contents, once known, will determine whether investigation shifts from the official suicide hypothesis to any other line of inquiry.
