The petition, filed seeking suo-motu intervention, cites three suicides within just 26 days at TMU, including two students and one professor.

The incidents include the death of Osho Raj Chaudhary, a 28-year-old MD (Anaesthesia) student found hanging in his hostel room. Earlier, Akshat Jain, a 21-year-old BBA student, and Aditi Malhotra, a 32-year-old assistant professor, also died under similar circumstances.

Additionally, in a separate tragic event in Meerut district, a desperate father and his teenage daughter consumed poison due to financial distress over education expenses.

Jogendra Prajapati, a 50-year-old mason, and his 17-year-old daughter Khushi tragically ended their lives after he couldn’t afford her school fees despite her scoring 75% in her 10th grade exams.

The petition urges the Supreme Court to order a CBI inquiry monitored by the court into these incidents, emphasizing the urgency and gravity of the situation.

The petition, supported by a detailed newspaper report, underscores the need for immediate judicial intervention to ensure justice in these distressing cases.
