B.Tech student found dead in university

A 20-year-old B.Tech student died after he allegedly jumped from the sixth floor of the administration block of a private university near Nagandenahalli in a rural district of Bengal on Thursday evening.

The deceased has been identified as S. Varshini, a native of Andhra Pradesh and a third year student of B.Tech. A senior police officer told The Hindu that no currency note was found, but the police took her books and study materials for examination to look for possible clues.

According to the police officer, Varshini texted her parents: “I love you, dad. I love you, mom.”

The incident happened on Thursday around 9:00 p.m.

The police have registered a case against the person responsible for the block where the incident took place under Section 106 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with causing death by negligence.

The officer said the death occurred in the administrative block and it was not clear how she was given access to the building.
