Speaking to the PTI, the police officials informed that the incident occurred on Sunday at Guru Dronacharya Ayurvedic College, where the deceased had taken admission in December 2025. Upon receiving information about the death, the student's family and relatives reached the college on Monday morning and staged a protest outside the campus, alleging that he was murdered.

The student's brother, a doctor based in Delhi, accused the college management of killing his brother and claimed that there had been complaints of ragging at the institute, which were brought to the notice of the authorities but allegedly went unaddressed.

According to him, the family received a phone call on Sunday evening from a person named Monu, who said that the student had met with an accident and suffered minor injuries. However, when the family reached Saharanpur, they were informed that Vishal had already died and his body had been kept in the mortuary.

The family further alleged that the student's mobile phone was accessed before their arrival and that his messages and call records were tampered with.

It was also claimed that some senior students from the 2024 batch bore a grudge against the student and were allegedly planning to harm him over a dispute involving a girl.

In a complaint lodged with the police, the victim's father, Pate Bahadur, of Budh Vihar in Delhi, alleged that he was riding a motorcycle along with two students from the 2024 batch at the time of the incident. While the incident was described as an accident, he died, whereas the other students sustained only minor injuries, raising suspicion, he said, adds PTI

The father has accused several individuals — 6 students and a teacher — of conspiring to murder his son and attempting to destroy evidence.

Station House Officer Akshay Sharma said the body was sent for post-mortem, and an investigation is underway.

The college management has so far not issued any statement on the incident.

As a precautionary measure, a heavy police force has been deployed in and around the college campus, police said.
