Digital desk: The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)-Guwahati reported on Thursday that a first-year student had been found dead in his hostel room on the campus on Wednesday night.
The 20-year-old deceased's family claimed he was ragged and murdered and wanted a high-level investigation into the incident, even though authorities believe it to be a suicide.
The student was a B-Tech student at the institute, coming from the Samastipur district of Bihar.
"The body has been sent for a postmortem examination to Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). After we receive the report, we will have a clear picture," a police officer stated, requesting to remain anonymous.
