A tragic incident has gripped Madhepura Engineering College in Bihar, where a female student’s mysterious death in the girls’ hostel has sparked widespread panic. The evening of Monday saw the shocking demise, leaving fellow residents terrified and demanding to be sent home immediately.
The campus is reeling from the aftermath. Dozens of girls, huddled in fear, have refused meals and are pleading with authorities to let them leave. ‘We can’t stay here anymore—send us back home,’ they chorused on Tuesday. The atmosphere in the hostel remains tense, with whispers of supernatural occurrences fueling the dread.
Principal Amarendra Kumar Amar rushed to the scene, consoling the shaken students and assuring them of enhanced security. He has doubled the staff deployment in the hostel to restore confidence and prevent further unrest. Despite these measures, the girls’ trauma lingers, casting a shadow over daily life.
Questions are mounting over the college administration’s response. The deceased student’s father expressed fury, revealing he learned of the death not from officials or police, but from her roommate. ‘She was perfectly fine during our last call on Sunday. She had just returned to college on January 27 after holidays,’ he said, demanding answers.
The student had enrolled in September 2024, full of promise for her engineering dreams. Police have launched a thorough probe, camping overnight at a medical college where initial inquiries took place. The roommate, deeply traumatized, has been sent home to recover mentally.
As investigations continue, the incident underscores serious safety concerns in educational hostels. Parents across Bihar are watching closely, urging stricter oversight to protect vulnerable students far from home.
