2. Patna University student safety concerns
A tragic incident unfolded at the Law College campus of Patna University on Monday, May 27, 2024, when a final year student was brutally lynched by a mob of more than 10 unidentified individuals. The victim, identified as Harsh Raj, was a 22-year-old undergraduate student of Functional English Vocational Course at B N College. The attack took place near the auditorium of the Law College campus, where Harsh sustained a major head injury and tragically lost his life.
This shocking incident has left the entire community in shock and mourning. Harsh, a resident of Vaishali district, was known for his active involvement in social causes and was a popular figure among his peers. His friends and family have described him as a compassionate and dedicated individual who always stood up for what he believed in. It is believed that Harsh’s decision to contest the upcoming Patna University Student’s Union (PUSU) election may have been a possible motive behind the brutal attack.
The victim’s father, Ajit Kumar, who is a journalist in a local newspaper, has filed a First Information Report (FIR) against more than one dozen individuals in connection with the incident. Mr. Kumar revealed that he had advised his son against participating in the PUSU election, but Harsh was determined to make a difference in the student community. He had also actively campaigned for a political candidate during the recent Lok Sabha elections.
In response to this tragic event, Patna University Vice-Chancellor Professor K.C. Sinha has ordered the cancellation of all ongoing examinations until further notice. The university administration is deeply saddened by the loss of one of its students and has called for a thorough investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice. The police are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the Law College campus in an effort to identify the individuals responsible for the heinous crime.
The entire community is reeling from this senseless act of violence, and calls for justice are growing louder. Harsh Raj’s untimely demise has left a void in the hearts of his loved ones, and the demand for accountability is stronger than ever. As investigations continue and efforts are made to apprehend the culprits, the memory of Harsh Raj will live on as a symbol of resilience and courage in the face of adversity.
