A 31-year-old M.Sc. Physics student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi allegedly died by suicide after jumping from the sixth floor of the Lecture Hall Complex on the institute’s campus on Saturday morning, police said. Deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Amit Goel said that at around 8:33 am on Saturday, the police control room received a call regarding a student who jumped from the sixth floor of the Lecture Hall Complex at the IIT Delhi campus. The call was transferred to Kishangarh police station because the campus falls under its territorial jurisdiction.
“A police team rushed to the scene, and the injured person was shifted to the IIT Delhi campus hospital, where the attending doctor declared him brought dead. During the enquiry, the dead person, aged 31, was identified as a student of the M.Sc. Physics department at the IIT Delhi,” said Goel, adding that the crime scene investigation team and forensic science laboratory (FSL) team inspected the incident spot and collected evidence.

No suicide note has been found. A mobile phone was recovered from the pocket of the deceased and will be examined as per due procedure.”
