Overview
- Late on Wednesday, fellow residents alerted police to a foul smell from a locked room in Sunrise Hostel and officers found 20‑year‑old Mohit Saini hanging inside the room.
- Saini, a second‑year CPT student from Mathura, was taken to NIMS Hospital for a post‑mortem and investigators say the body’s condition suggests he may have died one to two days before discovery.
- A day earlier a B.Tech student, Aditya Tiwari, allegedly fell from the 15th floor of the Garnek Hostel and died, prompting police to treat both deaths as separate investigations so far.
- Chandwaji police are collecting statements from students, roommates and hostel officials and have not confirmed any link between the two deaths while forensic reports are pending.
- The cluster of fatalities has raised questions about hostel oversight and student welfare on campus and authorities say post‑mortem results will be key to clarifying causes and any institutional response.
