Student dies by suicide in NIT-Hamirpur

A student of National Institute of Technology, Hamirpur, allegedly committed suicide in the hostel of the institute on Monday. The student Ayansh Sharma was a resident of Bareli in Uttar Pradesh. He was pursuing a dual degree course in electronics and communication. His body was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his room. The police had taken the body in custody for post-mortem. Reportedly, a suicide note was also found from the room of the student.

Prof HM Suryavanshi, director of the NIT, confirmed that a student had reportedly committed suicide in the institute. Meanwhile, in 2023, another student allegedly died due to an overdose of a drug. The death of one more student in the NIT today has once again raised several questions on the security and safety of students. SP Bagat Singh Thakur here said that the police has registered a case and initiated a probe into the matter.
