Berhampur: A student of IISER in Berhampur of Odisha’s Ganjam district reportedly committed suicide by hanging himself in the hostel on Friday.
As per reports, the student, identified as Satya Samaya Murmu of Dumadihi village in Balasore district, had taken admission in BSc-MSc integrated course in Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) this year. He was staying in a room on 7th floor of BH-1 hostel in the campus for the last few days.
