IP University Student Commits Suicide After He Was Expelled From Hostel In Delhi's Dwarka

New Delhi: A student of the IP University on Sunday allegedly committed suicide jumping off from the 7th floor of his hostel in Delhi’s Dwarka, after he was expelled from the hostel for celebrating a birthday party. The incident reportedly occurred at the Shivalik Boys hostel located in the Dwarka Sector 16 area. On information, the local Dwarka police rushed to the spot and shifted the body to the mortuary of a hospital for post-mortem.

The students staying at the same hostel have identified the deceased as Gautam Kumar, a resident of Bihar Hajipur district. The incident took place at around 6.10 pm, when suddenly the victim reportedly shouted “Sorry bhai” from the 7th floor and jumped off.

Students Stage Massive Protest Against At The Spot

According to one of the students at the hostel, the warden of the Shivalik Boys Hostel, on Saturday issued an expulsion order for six students including one from Nepal. It was alleged that the said students consumed liquor inside the hostel room on the intervening night of September 13 and 14. The students were directed to hand over the possession of their rooms on Sunday until 2 pm.

The victim’s fellow hostel mates claimed that Gautam was in no habit of drinking liquor or smoking. He was called by the other students celebrating his birthday inside a room to have cake, when suddenly the warden entered the room and caught them all. It is also being claimed that the victim reiterated that he was not involved in drinking and smoking and couldn’t afford to live outside the hostel, but his request went unnoticed.

Meanwhile, after the incident, the students gathered in large numbers outside the hostel and staged a massive protest against the hostel warden and IP University administration demanding stringent action against those responsible for pushing the victim to commit suicide.

The senior police officials of the Delhi Police are at the spot and are trying to persuade the students.

Further details regarding the incident are being awaited.
