Unimaginable Grief: Only Son Dies Days Before Rakhi
27 Aug
Summary
- An 18-year-old student died in Lucknow after consuming poison.
- His family is mourning his loss just days before Raksha Bandhan.
- Police are investigating the circumstances with a suspected suicide note found.
In a tragic turn of events, 18-year-old Adarsh Mishra, an only son and second-year BTech student, died during treatment in Lucknow on Thursday. His death, caused by consuming poison, occurred just days before Raksha Bandhan, a festival his three sisters eagerly anticipated celebrating with him.
Adarsh was found critically ill at his rented accommodation in the BBD area on Tuesday. Despite being rushed to a hospital by friends, he succumbed to the poisoning on Thursday. His family, who had last spoken to him on Tuesday morning, rushed to Lucknow upon hearing of his deteriorating condition, only to find him deceased.
A preliminary investigation by the police, including the discovery of a purported suicide note in his room, suggests Adarsh may have been distressed due to a home dispute. His mobile phone and laptop have been seized for further examination as authorities await the post-mortem report to ascertain the exact cause of death.
The heartbreaking loss has cast a shadow over the festive occasion, leaving his sisters to mourn the brother they would never tie a rakhi on. The family now faces an irreplaceable absence, turning what should have been a celebration of their bond into a period of profound grief.
