17-year-old Ayaan Khan, son of Bihar Congress Legislature Party leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan, allegedly died by suicide in Patna at his residence on Monday. News agency PTI reported that Ayaan’s body was found hanging from the ceiling fan at the official residence of his father in the Sachiwalaya area.
The cause of suicide is still being determined and is not yet disclosed as the body has been sent to the post-mortem examination, a senior officer said. Shakeel Ahmad Khan’s family has already gathered at the residence. Khan has one son and one daughter, who is studying law in England.
The news of Ayan’s death has sent shockwaves in the family, the local community and Congress circles.
Bihar State Congress spokesperson Rakesh Rathore, speaking to news agency IANS, said, “He had only one child, who was very dear, studious, and well-mannered. It’s very difficult to say how the incident occurred.”
“From what we have gathered from others, the mother went to wake him up for school, and the door was closed, and that’s when the news came. No one is in a position to speak,“ Rathore added.
