Patna, Aug 30 (IANS): A youth from Shamli district in Uttar Pradesh allegedly committed suicide in Patna and recorded the act live on Faceblook after his girlfriend snapped ties with him, a police officer said on Monday.

The deceased person, who has been identified as Paramjeet Singh, followed her girlfriend and came to Patna on Sunday. He went to the Takht Sri Harimandir Sahib and returned to a lodge at Patna City Chowk locality.

The officials of the lodge suspected foul play after Paramjeet did not come out of his room on Sunday evening.

The door was broken open by the local police.

"When the door was opened, Paramjeet was found hanging from a ceiling fan and his Facebook page was open on his mobile phone," said an official from the Patna City Chowk police station.
