Law enforcement officials in Ranchi are probing the death of a BTech scholar whose body was found in a rented flat on the outskirts of Rajaulatu. Manish Kumar, originally from Hazaribagh, was living alone after a roommate moved out days earlier. The landlord reported the locked door and lack of activity, leading to the discovery of Kumar's lifeless form. The police have taken custody of the corpse for a post‑mortem examination and have sealed the room while forensic technicians collect evidence. Initial statements hint at suicide, yet investigators are interviewing peers and reviewing any recent communications to piece together the circumstances surrounding the fatal event.
