A third-year B.Tech student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna allegedly ended his life by jumping from the roof of a building on campus in Patna's Bihta on Tuesday, police said.

According to officials, a police team reached at the scene after receiving information and launched a probe into the matter.

Danapur Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) II, Pankaj Kumar Mishra, said, "We received information that a student jumped off a roof inside the IIT campus. The team immediately reached the spot, and he was rushed to the hospital, where doctors declared him dead."

"The student is a native of Telangana and was in his third year of B.Tech. The investigation is underway. Prima facie it appears to be a case of suicide, but further investigations are ongoing.
