Student who died on on university campus allegedly jumped to his death

A day after a student from PES University lost his life on their Electronics City campus, the boy’s parents have alleged that he jumped to his death from the college building. The 21-year-old BE (Computer Science) student Rahul K. died after falling from the sixth floor of the building on Tuesday (May 14) morning.

“Based on the complaint from his father, we have filed an unnatural death report under Section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Code. We are probing the case, and more details will be revealed as the investigation proceeds,” said C.K. Baba, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), southeast division.

This is the fourth such incident at PES University in one year, three of which occurred on the same campus. Meanwhile, the university’s students took to social media about the recent tragic incidents. In posts that went viral, many students alleged that Rahul took the extreme step after being told that he would not be allowed to write the exam because he arrived late at the hall.
