Harsh Raj : “Patna College Student Brutally Beaten to Death”

A 22-year-old final-year undergraduate student of B. N. College in Patna was brutally attacked and tragically beaten to death by masked assailants on the premises of Patna Law College on Monday, according to the local police authorities.

The distressing incident took place around 1 pm as the student, identified as Harsh Raj, a resident of Vaishali district, emerged from the examination hall at Patna Law College following his final-year exams.

He was swiftly transported to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), where, sadly, he succumbed to his injuries during medical treatment.

Following the incident, a police team led by the additional superintendent of police (ASP) of Patna City, Dasrath R S, promptly arrived at the scene.

“Harsh Raj fell victim to a vicious attack by 7-8 criminals who subjected him to severe physical assault. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he tragically passed away. We are currently reviewing CCTV footage of the crime scene and collecting additional evidence to apprehend the culprits,” stated the ASP.

The deceased student’s father, Ajit Kumar, a journalist employed by a Hindi newspaper, informed the media that Harsh had been under immense stress as he was preparing to participate in the upcoming student union elections at the university, where he was vying for the position of president.

Regrettably, there was no police presence in the campus vicinity at the time of the attack.

All examinations scheduled for May 28 at Patna University have been cancelled, and all colleges will remain closed on Tuesday, as stated in a university notification issued in the evening.
