A tragic incident unfolded in Knowledge Park-3 C in Greater Noida, where a second-year B-Tech student, identified as Udit Soni from Jhansi, lost his life. Udit, reportedly returning to the hostel late with friends after consuming alcohol, faced repercussions for violating rules, leading to a confrontation with hostel authorities.
The situation escalated when a video of the incident was shared with Udit’s father, Vijay Soni, who admonished him over the phone, threatening to remove him from college and summon him back home. Distressed by this, Udit allegedly jumped from the 4th floor of the hostel building, succumbing to his injuries despite immediate medical attention.
Authorities are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding Udit’s death, with Additional DCP Sudhir Kumar affirming a comprehensive inquiry. A friend of the deceased, Harshit, claimed that Udit was subjected to physical assault by hostel staff, contributing to his decision to take his own life. The aftermath saw student unrest, resulting in vandalism of buses and hostel property.
The police have assured ongoing investigations into the matter, with more details awaited as the situation unfolds.
