Overview
- Laksh Mishra, 21, reportedly fell from a ninth-floor hostel window in Yelahanka early Tuesday around 3 a.m. and was declared dead at a nearby hospital.
- The Yelahanka New Town police registered an Unnatural Death Report, which triggers a formal inquiry into deaths that are not clearly natural.
- Investigators are taking statements from hostel staff and other witnesses, securing CCTV footage from the building, and examining physical evidence from the scene.
- His father, Anjani Kumar Mishra, filed a written complaint alleging foul play, pointing to little blood at the spot, a largely intact body, a narrow window-grill gap, and a delay before the family was told.
- Police have not reached a conclusion on cause or intent, and the findings could drive closer scrutiny of the college’s management and hostel safety practices.
