According to the doctors, Gogoi was suffering from delusion and was kept on anti-psychotic drugs as a part of the treatment, according to a report published in the TOI.
Gogoi had been unable to give proper reply about reasons for his coming to Howrah station and the destination to where he was heading.
The man had found all his belongings missing when he had reached Howrah station.
The doctors suspected that he might have been drugged during the train journey.
The man still did not tell any of the hospital staff the reason for wanting to commit suicide.
The doctors will decide if he can be brought back to Guwahati with his family after doing a medical check-up.
