Overview
- A 19-year-old second-year nursing student was discovered on a boys’ hostel staircase on Wednesday with visible bleeding and was taken to the college hospital where CPR failed.
- Police say preliminary forensic findings point to internal bleeding and that a panel of two doctors carried out a videographed post-mortem, but the definitive cause is pending the full report.
- Investigators are collecting evidence by reviewing CCTV from the college, searching for the student’s mobile phone and retrieving call detail records to reconstruct her movements.
- A male student described as a friend has been detained and is being questioned while the body was released to the family, who carried out last rites.
- Police say an FIR will be registered after the family files a formal application and that the next developments to watch are the full post-mortem conclusions and the results of CCTV and phone-record analysis.
