Jabalpur MBBS Student Death: Police Cite Emotional Distress, Family Says 'Not Suicide'

Shortly before the incident, Shivansh reportedly sent a message to the girl, as reported by Free Press Journal. The message read: “What I’m about to do, you should never do.” Moments later, he jumped from the hostel building.

Meanwhile, Shivansh’s family believes that their son did not die from suicide, but instead someone might have murdered him. They think that his death is part of a conspiracy. 

His father, Santosh Gupta, questioned the suicide theory. He asked, "Why would a bright student who scored 660 in NEET and had just bought a new bike suddenly end his life?" He also pointed out that the language used in the message didn’t seem like something Shivansh would write.

His mother also said that even though her son was upset over the bike issue, he was not depressed. She believes something happened in the hostel that night, which is still being hidden.

The family also revealed that some seniors were jealous of Shivansh’s new bike. He had once told his mother that some students were troubling him, but the family thought it was just minor and harmless ragging.

Meanwhile, the college has now formed an internal committee to look into the matter, and the police are investigating all possible angles – including ragging, emotional distress, messages, phone records, and CCTV footage.

CSP Gwarighat, HR Pandey confirmed that there was an emotional angle to the case so far, but said that the investigation is still ongoing.
