A 20-year-old student at IIT Roorkee is found dead in his hostel room, with police and institute officials treating the case as a suspected suicide. Multiple outlets report that a suicide note was recovered and that authorities have begun an investigation, including steps to confirm the cause of death.
The student is identified in some reports as Ayush Rajoria, a second-year BS-MS student in Mathematics and Computing, originally from Ghaziabad. Officials say the student had been receiving counselling or treatment for mental stress/depression and had been visiting the institute’s wellness resources for an extended period. Police say no one is blamed in the note in at least one report, and that a post-mortem is planned.
Outlets also mention follow-up institutional actions. NDTV reports that exams will be postponed to November 22, while other coverage focuses on the immediate circumstances, police investigation status, and the suicide note. Overall, the reports align on the discovery, the suspected suicide, and the ongoing probe, while differing mainly in the amount of biographical detail and emphasis on institutional response versus police findings.
