A disturbing suicide at a private hostel in Greater Noida’s Knowledge Park-3 has claimed the life of BTech second-year student Udit Soni, originally from Bhognipur in Jhansi district. The 23-24 January midnight drama began with Udit and pals Chetan and Kuldeep returning drunk, breaching hostel policy.
Management’s sharp rebuke, captured on video and forwarded to father Vijay Soni, triggered a explosive phone tirade. Vijay threatened to yank Udit out of college and bring him back home, intensifying the student’s mental agony to a breaking point.
Unable to cope, Udit hurled himself from the fourth storey. Rescuers rushed the bleeding youth to a facility, to no avail—doctors pronounced him dead on arrival. Pandemonium gripped the hostel as word spread like wildfire.
Cops swarmed the location, processed the corpse with a panchnama, and forwarded it for postmortem. Probe teams are grilling roommates, staff, and witnesses, with seniors reviewing the chaos firsthand. Legal action awaits family statements under applicable laws.
This grim affair spotlights the dangers of shaming tactics on impressionable students, urging reforms in hostel governance and mental health protocols. Udit’s family endures profound sorrow, as the nation ponders preventive measures for at-risk youth.
