Jyoti Gupta, Indian hockey player known for her acute presence in International formats is no more. Her body is found on the railway tracks. Reasons for her death are still known, the incident has alarmed the concerned Hockey fraternity and police on what might be the reason behind the suicide of such a young player.

This 20-year-old player from Haryana allegedly committed suicide on Wednesday night by coming in front of a train at Rewari Railway Station. She was a resident of Sonepat district. Her body was found from the tracks by locals, who informed the cops subsequently.

“The girl was standing alone near the track and suddenly came in front of the train,” Balbir Singh, Sub-Inspector, Rewari GRP, was quoted as saying. “We have recorded the statement of the driver and also the statements of other officials who were present at the spot. No case had been registered and the body has been handed to the family.”

Jyoti was a forward hockey player and had represented the country in the Asian Games and in many state and national level tournaments. Her coach informed that she was to leave for Bengaluru for a training camp. The police said Jyoti had left home on Wednesday telling her parents that she was going to the Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, to get the spelling of her name corrected in her certificate.

When asked about her whereabouts before the incident, her family said Jyoti had called them in the evening and told them that her bus has broken down. She added that she will reach home soon, just before she stopped answering calls.

Police on the same day found her body laid dead at Rewari Railway Station along with her mobile phone that was ringing. The cops answered the calls and spoke to her parents and could thus identify her and said the driver of a Jaipur-bound train in his statement said that Jyoti died as she came in front of the train.

Now, during the probe, Jyoti’s parents refused that she has no reason to suicide and the investigation must be done. According to the police authorities, the body is handed over to the family and the reasons behind her decease are not yet found.

Woke up to a sad news about Jyoti Gupta. All my prayers are with the family and the #IndianHockeyWomen
