Student-related deaths and crimes in India

Overview

A series of tragic incidents involving students has been reported across various regions in India.

Initial reports detailed several deaths and a suicide attempt. In Ghaziabad, a PhD student died after falling from a residential building, while in Jaipur, a BTech student allegedly died by suicide after jumping from a hostel. Additionally, a Class 12 student in Mayiladuthurai attempted suicide on school grounds following alleged pressure from a headmaster regarding a sexual harassment inquiry.

Subsequent reports highlighted further incidents involving students, particularly those preparing for competitive exams. In Agra, two individuals—a 25-year-old man and a 22-year-old woman—died by suicide in separate locations. In Jaipur, a woman was shot in the chest in a suspected attack motivated by a refusal to marry, leaving her in serious condition.

Recent reports indicate a cluster of fatalities within university hostels. In Amethi, 21-year-old Deepti Yadav, a final-semester nursing student, was found hanging in her room at the Indira Gandhi School of Nursing; police are awaiting autopsy results. In Jaipur, 20-year-old Mohit Saini, a student at NIMS University, was found dead in his locked hostel room, with authorities suspecting suicide. This follows the death of another NIMS University student, Aditya Tiwari, who reportedly fell from a 15th-floor hostel building on August 25.
