Father Files FIR Suspecting Murder in B.Tech Students Mysterious Death in Ranchi
In Ranchi, a father has filed a police report suspecting murder in the mysterious death of his B.Tech son, Manish Kumar.
Ranchi, October 15 (Daily Kiran) : A disturbing turn has emerged in the case of Manish Kumar, a B.Tech student from Jharkhand Rai University, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances in Ranchi. His father, Hussaini Sav, has filed a First Information Report (FIR) at the Namkum police station, alleging that his son was murdered. He has called for a thorough investigation to bring the culprits to justice.
Manish’s body was discovered hanging in his rented room in Dabartoli, located in the Rajaulatu area of Namkum, on Wednesday. The 20-year-old, a fifth-semester mechanical engineering student, lived near the university.
According to his father, a concerning WhatsApp message arrived on the family’s mobile phone just a day before the tragedy. The message read, “If you want to save Manish, save him now.” The father claims that the message was deleted shortly after being sent. The family received a phone call around 1:30 PM on Wednesday, informing them of Manish’s death, prompting them to rush to his room.
Upon arrival, the father noted that there was a rope around his son’s neck and a broken table nearby, leading him to suspect that there might have been foul play, potentially staged to look like a suicide. Neighbors had reported a foul smell coming from the room, which raised their suspicions. When they found the door locked from the inside, they forced it open and discovered Manish’s body hanging from the ceiling fan.
The police arrived at the scene, confiscating the student’s mobile phone and smartwatch for examination. They suspect that the body may have been there for two to three days. The exact cause of death will be determined after a post-mortem examination and further investigation. Authorities are exploring all aspects of the case.
This incident marks the second engineering student’s death in Ranchi within four days. Earlier, on Sunday night, the body of Aditya Kumar, a first-year student at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Ranchi, was found in his hostel room. Following that incident, students protested, prompting the central education ministry to form a three-member committee to investigate.
