Mayukh Kundu, a first-year MA student at the University of Hyderabad (UoH), allegedly died by suicide on May 18. His body was found in the Buffalo Lake on campus on the next day, May 19.
Several student groups at UoH have alleged that just before he was last seen on the night of May 17, a group of students affiliated with the right-wing student outfit Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) held Mayukh in their room and assaulted him, accusing him of stealing laptops.
