The Valiyamala police identified the deceased as Prameed, a third-year Avionics student, who hailed from Hyderabad.

He was purportedly caught using his mobile phone during the examination held earlier in the day, the police said. The body is kept at the mortuary of the Government taluk hospital at Nedumangad. A post-mortem examination will be conducted on Saturday, officials said.
