The police said that the door to the scholar's room was locked from the inside, requiring neighbours to break it open. He was immediately shifted to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) trauma centre by the police.
For the past more than 45 days, the scholar remained under treatment. An FIR was registered pursuant to the directions of the Supreme Court and on the basis of a complaint received from the Security Officer, at the IIT Delhi.
Concerned authorities have clarified that the alleged incident did not occur inside the IIT Delhi campus.
