A 19-year-old polytechnic student attempted to commit suicide by drinking phenyl and slitting his left wrist in Mumbai's Marine Drive area on Wednesday. The shocking incident took place just two days after a 24-year-old-MBA student jumped to death from the 19th floor of a five-star hotel in Bandra.

The youth identified as Chandan Singh is a student of a polytechnic college in Mumbra in neighbouring Thane district. According to a report by Times of India, police said that Chandan took the drastic step after having a tiff with his hostel roommates on Tuesday night over late dinning.
