IIT Delhi scholar dies at AIIMS 46 days after he was found unconscious at rented house; abetment of suicide case registered
Police said the student was found unconscious and in injured condition at his rented house in Munirka Village on August 18.
A PhD scholar from IIT Delhi passed away at AIIMS on October 3 after being admitted for treatment since August 18. He was found unconscious and injured at his rented accommodation in Munirka Village, south Delhi. Police registered a case of abetment of suicide under section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Kishangarh police station, though they did not disclose if it was filed against any individual.
The exact cause of death remains unclear, but the case suggests he attempted suicide at his rented house and died during treatment at AIIMS. The house's door was locked from the inside, which prompted neighbors to break it open. The victim was immediately taken to AIIMS Trauma Centre and remained under treatment for over 45 days before his demise.
It is the third student suicide reported at IIT Delhi this year, following another incident on August 22 and another in March 2026.
