AIIMS Student Found Dead In Patna Hostel Room, Suicide Suspected; Cops Launch Probe
'His room was locked from the inside. Police immediately reached the spot, and other administrative officials were also called, and they broke into the room around 1 pm. The deceased was found lying on the bed. He was taken to the emergency ward where doctors declared him brought dead," said SDPO (Phulwarisharif-1) Sushil Kumar.
No suicide note was found at the spot, police said, adding that Sahu's body had been sent for the post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of the incident. AIIMS officials said he was a PG student in the gynaecology and obstetrics department, who had joined the college in January.
The Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team was called to collect evidence from the scene, and the police have started an investigation into all possible aspects, including foul play, suicide, or medical condition, according to NDTV.
The incident comes days after a second-year BDS student at Sharda University in Greater Noida died by suicide on Monday, citing harassment. Prior to this, a college student in Odisha's Balasore district died after setting herself on fire, allegedly over harassment by a teacher.
Earlier in the day, Dr Tapeshwar Prasad, a retired official from the Health Department, was shot and seriously injured by unidentified assailants in Bihar. The incident took place while he was returning from his agricultural field when three criminals riding an Apache motorcycle ambushed and opened fire on him.
