A 22-year-old student was beaten to death on the campus of a law college in Bihar's capital, Patna. Harsh Raj, a third-year student of Vocational English at BN College, had gone to Sultanganj Law College to take an exam when 10-15 masked men armed with sticks attacked him. The blows left him critically injured. Police reached the spot and rushed him to a hospital, where he died during treatment.
"Harsh Raj had gone to Sultanganj Law College to take an exam. Students have told us that 10-15 masked men attacked him with sticks. We are speaking to his family members. Our forensic team, dog squad and technical team has reached the spot. We are investigating all angles," City SP (East) Bharat Soni told the media.
Asked what prompted the attack on the youngster, the senior police officer said they are yet to ascertain the reason. "His friends and family members have told us that he was very socially active. Last year, an altercation broke out during a college fest he organised. His friends have said there could be a link. We cannot tell you more because we do not have concrete information at this point," he said.
