Sneha Chaurasia, a third-year B.A. (Sociology) student, was allegedly shot dead by her classmate at a university in Greater Noida .
A day after a 21-year-old student of Shiv Nadar University was shot dead inside the institute’s Greater Noida campus, it has emerged that the university authorities first reported it as a case of dog bite.
Responding to allegations by the woman’s family that the authorities tried to mislead the police, a Shiv Nadar University spokesperson on Friday said, “The woman’s body was found lying on the floor. It was assumed that a dog had attacked her. There was no intention of lying.”
Sneha Chaurasia, a third-year B.A. (Sociology) student, was allegedly shot dead by her classmate after which he returned to his hostel room and shot himself, according to the police. The man, identified as 21-year-old Anuj Singh, was a resident of Amroha in Uttar Pradesh. The police were informed about the incident by the university authorities around 1.30 p.m., a senior officer said.
Minutes before killing the woman, Anuj was seen talking to Sneha and even hugging her outside the dining area of the campus, the police said, citing CCTV footage.
The father of the deceased woman has raised concerns over the security measures at the university. A Kanpur-based lawyer, Raj Kumar Chaurasia told The Hindu that the family will approach Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. “We send our children to study… It’s shameful that under so much surveillance this man shot her dead and no one tried to stop him,” he added.
The university, however, issued a statement saying it takes “extensive care and precautions” to ensure the safety of its students, staff members and all other personnel on the university campus.
Meanwhile, a video has emerged in which Anuj purportedly claims that he was suffering from brain cancer. His family, however, said he was fit and didn’t have any medical conditions. The police said they are waiting for the post-mortem details to confirm the claim about brain cancer.
