According to reports, Shubham, a first-year B. Pharmacy student at Shreenath College of Pharmacy in Bajajnagar, was staying with two roommates. On Tuesday morning, his two roommates left for college, Shubham stayed behind alone; when the roommates returned at 3 pm to find the door locked from the inside and received no response, they looked through a rear opening and discovered him hanging from the ceiling fan.
