NIT STUDENT DIES AFTER ‘JUMPING’ FROM HOSTEL BUILDING

A final-year engineering student of NIT Warangal in Telangana allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of his hostel building on Sunday evening.

According to the police, the student was identified as Sanketh Kumar Suryavamsi, (22) who was in his final year of civil engineering course.
