Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) student Anurag Jaiswal was found dead on Saturday (August 24, 2024) in his apartment in Mumbai’s Chembur.
Senior police inspector Pandharinath Sawant told The Hindu, “An accidental death case has been registered as we suspect no foul play. The post-mortem has been conducted, and the reason will be soon out.” The police have ruled out ragging and recorded statements of his roommates and the people who attended a party.
According to the police, Jaiswal might have consumed a poisonous substance with his food during the party. A day before, on Friday (August 23, 2024) night, the 29-year-old attended the freshers’ party with 150 friends in Navi Mumbai’s Vashi.
His roommates told the police that they returned to the apartment around 3. a.m. on Saturday (August 24, 2024). In the morning, when he did not wake up, they rushed him to Sushrut Hospital in Chembur, where he was declared dead on arrival. Later the body was shifted to Rajawadi Hospital for post-mortem.
The deceased was pursuing a degree in Human Resources at TISS and hailed from Lucknow.
