Anurag Jaiswal, the deceased

A first-year student pursuing a Human Resource programme at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) in Deonar was found dead in his rented apartment in Chembur under mysterious circumstances on Sunday. This was the day after he attended a late-night party in Navi Mumbai with his flatmates and other TISS students. The police questioned his friends who attended the party and ruled out ragging as the cause and suspected it could be a case of alcohol overdose.

The student, identified as Anurag Jaiswal, 29, was heavily intoxicated and was assisted home by his batchmates. He did not wake up the next morning, and his friends took him to a local hospital in Chembur, where he was declared dead on arrival.

Around 125 students participated in the party. Representation pic
