Dehradun B.Tech Student Dies After Campus Clash

Police now focus on a long-running campus rivalry that has raised new questions about student safety.

Overview

  • A 22-year-old B.Tech student, Divyanshu Jatrana, died at Doon Hospital after a late-night fight between rival student groups in Dehradun’s Premnagar area.
  • Police say an ambulance at the first hospital failed, so officers drove him to Doon Hospital, where he died during treatment.
  • Investigators have arrested three students — Yuvraj Kumar, Madhur Khandelwal, and Shivam Sharma — and say a case names up to 15 suspects as searches continue.
  • The deceased student’s family filed a complaint, and Premnagar police registered a case under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, India’s current criminal code.
  • Officials say both groups study at the same private institute and have a history of fights over campus dominance, a pattern echoed by a separate fatal stabbing in Dehradun in December 2025.
