Overview
- Shreyash Chandrakant Mane, 20, a second-year student at IIIT Nagpur, died in a suspected suicide after a fall from his campus hostel on Monday.
- Butibori police registered an accidental-death case, said they suspect no foul play or ragging, and reported that no suicide note was found.
- Investigators are reviewing CCTV that showed him moving from the lifts to the stairs up to the ninth floor, with gum wrappers helping trace his route.
- The institute postponed that day’s exam, and his family from Kolhapur took custody of the body for last rites as the postmortem and inquiry proceed.
- Students later staged a hostel protest over what they described as missing medical support, no on-campus ambulance, and a slow administrative response to the incident.
