BTech student dies by suicide after jumping from hostel building
This comes hours after a second-year BTech student from Jhansi plunged to his death from a hostel rooftop in Greater Noida's Knowledge Park. Udit Soni, a Jhansi native pursuing BTech, returned to his Knowledge Park 3 hostel late Friday (January 23) with friends Chetan and Kuldeep, visibly under the influence of alcohol. Hostel management swiftly intervened, scolding Udit for his unruly behavior and capturing the episode on video.
They promptly forwarded the footage to his father, Vijay Soni, escalating a minor infraction into a family crisis. Such strict oversight aims to curb substance abuse but tragically backfired here, amplifying the young man's distress. Vijay Soni, upon viewing the video, immediately phoned Udit, unleashing a barrage of anger and threats to yank him from the hostel and bring him home. The harsh words crushed the already shaken student, who felt cornered by authority figures on all sides.
In a desperate act around dawn Saturday, Udit climbed to the fourth floor and jumped. Rescuers rushed the critically injured 20-something to a nearby hospital, but doctors pronounced him dead on arrival, shattering dreams and igniting grief. Additional DCP Sudhir Kumar confirmed family members rushed to the scene, where legal formalities cleared the body for post-mortem.
