Ghaziabad, August 18: Two days after an engineering student was found dead in his college campus under mysterious circumstances, a case of murder and ragging has been registered against four senior students and a college official.
Based on a written complaint of the father of the deceased boy, police registered a case under section 147 (punishment for rioting), 302 (punishment for murder), 120b (punishment for criminal conspiracy) of IPC and under the Anti Ragging Act against a college official and four students, police circle officer Anil Panday said today.
19-year-old Abhishek Sahai fell to his death from the roof of the hostel of S R M Institute of Engineering and Management in Modi Nagar, 20 kms from here, on Sunday.
Though the college administration said Sahai was depressed from some days, his family has alleged that he was ragged by seniors and the incident could be linked to that.
