Though the cause behind the student’s alleged suicide attempt has not been ascertained nor a police complaint filed, his family claimed that he took the extreme step due to ragging by the seniors in the institute.

“My brother was a first year student and his seniors abused him verbally in the college. He did not share anything with us and took the extreme step. We found him unconscious and rushed him to DHH for immediate treatment. We demand justice for my brother else several other students will continue to be a victim of ragging,” Ashutosh’s brother told mediapersons.
