Tragic Discovery at Nursing Training School
A young teacher's life came to a tragic end in Patna when 25-year-old Jyoti Kumari was found dead in her room at a private ANM training institution on Monday morning. The incident has sent shockwaves through the educational community and left authorities scrambling for answers.
The Fateful Morning
The grim discovery unfolded at the Soumya Krishna ANM Training School located in West Patel Nagar under Shastri Nagar police station. According to police reports, the sequence of events began when Jyoti failed to respond to repeated knocking on her door throughout the morning.
Her fellow teacher and roommate, Supriya Rani, grew concerned when there was no response from Jyoti despite multiple attempts to wake her. Rani immediately alerted the school principal, Angelina Benjamin, about the concerning situation.
"The principal, accompanied by a security guard, was forced to break open the locked door," a police official revealed. "Inside, they made the heartbreaking discovery of Jyoti's body hanging from a noose."
Police Investigation Underway
Local authorities were notified immediately after the discovery. Shastri Nagar station house officer (SHO) Ravindra Kumar confirmed that police received information about the incident around 10 am on Monday.
"Our team promptly visited the location and conducted preliminary investigations," SHO Kumar stated. "The forensic team has collected crucial evidence from the scene, and we are thoroughly examining all possibilities."
In a significant development, police confirmed that no suicide note was recovered from the premises, complicating efforts to determine the motive behind the extreme step.
Last Known Movements
Investigators have pieced together Jyoti's final hours through statements from colleagues and friends. The deceased, who hailed from Tajpur in Samastipur district, had returned to Patna just the previous evening after spending a four-day vacation at her hometown for Guru Nanak Jayanti celebrations.
In a statement that has puzzled investigators, roommate Supriya Rani revealed that the two teachers had dinner together on Sunday night, and Jyoti appeared completely normal throughout their interaction.
"She seemed her usual self and never mentioned facing any problems or difficulties," Rani told police. "There were no warning signs that she was contemplating such a drastic step. This has come as a complete shock to everyone who knew her."
Ongoing Investigation
Police have launched a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding Jyoti's death. Authorities are currently:
- Questioning staff members and students at the training school
- Reviewing CCTV camera footage from the premises
- Conducting forensic analysis of evidence collected from the scene
- Investigating Jyoti's personal and professional background for possible motives
Jyoti Kumari had been serving as a faculty member at the ANM training school for the past two years, building a reputation as a dedicated educator among her colleagues and students.
The tragic incident has raised serious questions about mental health awareness among educational professionals and the need for better support systems within educational institutions.
