In a shocking incident from Bihar’s Sheohar district, final-year engineering student Aditya Mishra was found dead under suspicious circumstances in his friend’s room. The 23-year-old from Laheriasarai, Darbhanga, had stayed over at his classmate’s place near Chhatouna market in Sitamarhi on Tuesday night. What started as a routine sleepover turned tragic when Aditya failed to wake up the next morning.
The friend, who woke up on time Wednesday morning, tried repeatedly to rouse Aditya at 11 AM, then again at 2 PM, but got no response. Rushing him to the district hospital, doctors declared him dead on arrival, noting the body had stiffened, indicating death occurred 2-3 hours earlier. Police swiftly took custody of the body for postmortem, while college officials and senior officers rushed to the scene.
Initial inquiries reveal both had dinner and slept normally. The friend mentioned Aditya was snoring loudly that morning and had a possible bike accident two days prior. No foul play is immediately evident, but the sudden death has stunned the community. ‘We’re awaiting the postmortem report to ascertain the exact cause,’ a senior police officer stated. Aditya’s family has been informed and is en route.
This heartbreaking loss raises questions about student health and safety in hostels and shared accommodations. As investigations continue, the engineering college community mourns one of its brightest, whose dreams were cut short in the most unexpected way. The postmortem results could shed light on whether it was natural causes, an undiagnosed injury, or something more sinister.
