Superintendent of Police (SP) Rajesh S told PTI that the student's father expressed apprehension that his son was "murdered" and it was made to look like a "suicide". The SP said that he has also alleged that his son had lent money to his fellow students.

Medical Dialogues team recently reported that the police are investigating the possibility of suicide or criminal activity, given that the student was found in suspicious circumstances. Superintendent of Police Rajesh S said that Prima facie it appears that either he fell on his own or someone pushed him.

The student was a native of Gorakhpur living on the ground floor of the hostel, a three-storey building. It is unclear how the incident had taken place and the police are investigating the matter.

As part of their investigation, the police currently interrogated seven students and the college supervisor of the college in connection. Further investigation is underway. 

Meanwhile, the college principal, Colonel (retired) Dr Ravindra Nath Shukla said that he reached that spot as soon as he received information and informed the victim's family members and the police. "Later, the police officials themselves removed the officials of our college administration from the spot," Shukla added. 

He said that the college administration has full sympathy with the victim and they want the truth to come out for which they are cooperating with the police.
