Chaos erupted at Chanakya National Law University in Patna when a postgraduate law student was found suspended from a noose in his hostel quarters. Mayank Raj, a Ranchi native in the final year of his LLM program, became the center of a burgeoning mystery that has police scrambling for clues.
The discovery unfolded in the Jakkarpur police jurisdiction, where routine checks turned nightmarish. Hostel attendants alerted authorities after finding the body, leading to a hasty transfer to a local clinic—only for medical personnel to confirm the inevitable.
Forensic experts descended on the scene, scouring the room for insights. Among the findings: high-end gadgets like an iPhone and iPad, personal papers, and a letter alluding to a troubled love affair. These are now in lab custody, promising revelations about Mayank’s state of mind.
The student’s family, arriving from Jharkhand in distress, categorically dismissed suicide as an option. ‘Our boy wouldn’t do this,’ they proclaimed, calling for an exhaustive inquiry to unearth the truth.
Investigators are delving into telecommunications data, messaging logs, and interpersonal connections. The absence of overt accusations from kin hasn’t deterred the thoroughness; every angle is being explored to determine if despair or something sinister led to this fatality.
This heartbreaking event casts a shadow over CNLU, a prestigious institution, raising questions about student welfare and campus safety. As Patna police piece together the timeline, the nation watches for justice in the face of profound loss.
