A 20-year-old law student was found dead in her hostel room at a university in Rohtas, days after the Central Bureau of Investigation began probing the death of another student in a hostel in Patna.
The incident occurred at Gopal Narayan Singh University in Jamuhar, where the body of Priyanka Kumari, a fifth-semester law student, was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan in her hostel room on Thursday evening (March 12).
Priyanka, a resident of Bheri Periyar village under the Chand Police Station area, had reportedly stayed back in the hostel and did not attend classes that day.

According to information, when her roommates returned to the hostel, they found the room locked from the inside. Despite repeatedly calling out to her, there was no response.
