He suffered from serious head injuries and was rushed to the institution’s hospital where he died in early hours of Thursday, he said.
The deceased, hailing from Osmanabad district, was a third year BAMS student at the medical college, the official said.
After Kale’s death, some college students alleged that he died due to negligence in treatment. The angry students closed the hospital’s Outpatient Department (OPD) and demanded action against the persons concerned.
The Worli police have registered an accidental death report, the official said. A probe was underway into the student’s death, he added.
Meanwhile, Podar hospital dean Dr Sampada Sant said Dayanand's nose had started bleeding. He was given first aid and shifted to Nair hospital in "just 5-7 minutes". "We have all facilities and there was no negligence. The ambulance could not be provided as the night-shift driver had reported sick," added Sant.
