Anoop Srivastav, an Odisha native and a designer by profession, was depressed due to his divorce and was diagnosed with cancer a few days ago, they said.
"Parijat was found hanging in his room," said ASP Anoop Srivastav.
Police also recovered a suicide note from Parijat's room in which he has expressed hopelessness over his cancer treatment.
"I am committing suicide because you will spend a lot of money to cure my disease but your efforts can give me life for (just a) few years which will be more painful for me," the suicide note reads.
