A case of suicide has been reported from UP’s Tirthankar Mahaveer University Moradabad. On Thursday, the body of an MBBS student was found hanging from a noose. This is the third case of death in the university within a month. Earlier, a BBA student died on June 9 and a female professor died on July 1 under suspicious circumstances. The similarity in all three incidents is that no suicide note has been recovered in any of them.
Superintendent of Police (city) Akhilesh Bhadoria said on Thursday that the body of Osho Raj alias Basu, a student of the anesthesia department of TMU located on Delhi Road in the Pakbara police station area, was found hanging from a noose in the room. The police reached the spot, took the body in their custody and sent it for postmortem. At the same time, the family members of the deceased student have been informed about the incident.
SP City said that the incident related to Oshoraj, a resident of Ranchi, Jharkhand, is being investigated. It is being told that after doing MBBS, Osho Raj was studying MD Anesthesia PG from TMU. His body was found hanging from a noose on Thursday morning at around 8:30. Osho Raj Chaudhary, a resident of Old MB Road Kathar Toli, Ranchi, Jharkhand, was the only child of his parents. His father Dr. Apoorv Chaudhary was a CMO in Jharkhand and he has already died. While Osho’s mother Poonam Chaudhary is the principal of Ranchi Government Inter College.
Third death in TMU within a month
TMU has been under constant scrutiny. This is the third death within a month. Just four days ago, on July 1, the body of Assistant Professor Dr. Aditi Mehrotra was found lying on the floor in the university guest house. The revelations made by the police after examining the body were even more shocking because the woman professor’s suspicious death was termed as suicide. However, the police investigation is still underway. The viscera has been preserved. According to the police, the woman professor committed suicide by stabbing herself in the neck. People are not able to accept this fact. On the other hand, the police have not yet confirmed that any suicide note has been found near Dr. Aditi Mehrotra. Also, the reason for the suicide has not been revealed.
Aditi was from Haryana
Dr Aditi Mehrotra is a resident of Rewari district of Haryana. She had joined the university on 16 June, 15 days before her death. She was staying in the university guest house for the last two weeks. Dr Aditi’s father Dr Navneet Mehrotra had told that he had suspected something untoward as his daughter did not receive his call on the night of the incident. When he tried to talk to the university management, they too did not pick up the phone.

Akshat Jain’s father had also met the then SSP Hemraj Meena and requested for a fair investigation into his son’s suspicious death. He said that Akshat Jain could not have committed suicide and no suicide note was found with him.
In 2013, the death of an MBBS student was raised in Parliament
On 6 July 2013, the issue of solving the murder mystery of MBBS student Neeraj Bhadana, a resident of Faridabad, Haryana and such deaths in educational institutions has been raised in the Parliament. Outgoing MP from Amroha and Congress leader Kunwar Danish Ali had raised the issue of deaths in the university. MBBS student Neeraj Bhadana’s uncle Gyan Chand Bhadana said about the recent incidents that after raping Neeraj Bhadana, a murder case was registered in Pakbada police station, in which Manish Jain, son of Suresh Jain, the head of the university, was named. Who knows how many incidents have remained buried in the said educational institution with VVIP movement. If Neeraj Bhadana had got justice, such incidents would not have been repeated.
