The student, who was pursuing aerospace engineering, was in the fourth year of the course. No suicide note has been found.

Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
