The students suspected something untoward. BIT Mesra administration was informed about this. After this, the administrative people arrived. When they broke the door, they saw that Piyush was hanging from the fan with the help of a noose. By that time Piyush had died.
After getting information about the matter, Sadar Thanedar Laxmikant reached the spot with the police force. The police took the body into their custody and sent it for post-mortem. The police have been involved in the investigation of the case.
Three months ago another student committed suicide. This is a huge and alarming figure. We have sufficient safety in the dorms and on campus, according to Dean Bhaskar Karna. Also, plenty of scheduled events are organized, and counsellors often stop by to assist students with any issues. It is truly confusing that something so tragic could occur once more.
