    Delhi: International level athlete commits suicide at JLN; inquiry ordered
  • Parvinder Chaudhary, an 18-year-old athlete from UP, who represented India at international level, committed suicide at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru (JLN) Stadium.

    Chaudhary was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his hostel room.

    He was brain dead by the time he was rushed to Safdarjung Hospital, and could not be revived.

    This prompted the Sports Authority of India (SAI) to order a "departmental inquiry".

  • SAI Director, General Neelam Kapur said, "The inquiry will be headed by Secretary-SAI Swarn Singh Chabra and it should be completed within a week."

    Apparently, he took the extreme step after an argument with his father over monetary issues, Kapur said.

    His fellow trainees and staff at the stadium are shocked as the athlete showed no signs of depression while training through the day.

    He came back to his room at 5:30 pm.

    "He took the step in front of his sister after threatening her. She came out screaming and our staff immediately went there and brought him down," she added.
