Overview

• Devansh Chauhan, 23, died Wednesday after he and classmate Deepak Kumar, 22, were found shot in a BIMTECH hostel room on Tuesday.
• The room was locked from the inside; a guard heard cries and staff entered via the balcony after breaking a window.
• Police recovered a licensed Webley revolver registered to Chauhan’s father along with two spent cartridges, four live rounds, and bullets lodged in the walls.
• Investigators are testing ballistics and fingerprints to determine whether it was a murder‑suicide or two sequential suicides, and they have ruled out a third person.
• BIMTECH is cooperating with the inquiry and arranging counselling for students, and officials have begun action on the firearm licence as hostel security procedures come under review.
