Overview

• Officials said a fifth-floor tank fed the OPD and ward buildings for nearly ten days before the body was found.
• A foul odour prompted cleaning staff to inspect the cemented tank, where a badly decomposed, unidentifiable body was recovered under police supervision and sent for post-mortem.
• District Magistrate Divya Mittal assumed charge as investigation officer and noted the rooftop tank, which should have been locked, was open.
• The tank was sealed, and water tankers are supplying the campus as an interim measure.
• Principal Dr Rajesh Kumar Barnwal was relieved of duty, Dr Rajni was appointed acting principal, and a five-member team led by the Chief Development Officer was directed to submit findings within two days.
