Another IIT student died by hanging at IIT Guwahati, marking the fourth such incident at the institute this year. The 21-year-old student from Uttar Pradesh locked himself in his hostel room for a long time. When his friends knocked on the door and got no response, they informed the hostel authorities and police.
Police arrived, broke down the door, and found the student hanging. They took the body to Guwahati Medical College for an autopsy. The incident led to student protests on campus, raising concerns about the repeated tragedies.
