The cause of the death has not been established as yet, however, it is being suspected that he fell from one of the windows (in the building) which do not have an iron bar protection.

As reported by Assamtribune, although the cause of his death has not been established as yet, it has been speculated that he fell from one of the windows as the building windows do not have protective iron bars. However, some suspect murder. Dr Ratan Kumar Kotokey, the Principal-cum-Chief Superintendent of the medical institute told this correspondent that it was premature to speak anything on the matter. “Post-mortem has not yet been done and police investigation is also on,” he said. Medical students too refused to talk on the matter.
