Lucknow: A 17-year-old student, suffering from asthma, allegedly committed suicide in his room in the campus of the Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (SGPGI), Lucknow.
The deceased, Vikas Kumar, lived in the campus with his mother Satyaprabha, twin brother Vishal and an 11-year-old sister Angel.
According to the family, he suffered a panic attack and was rushed to SGPGI emergency. He committed suicide after he returned home.

His brother Vishal told reporters that after Vikas was brought back from hospital, he went to his room and was listening to music.
