A student kills a classmate on campus
“On Thursday around 1:30 p.m., Shiv Nadar University administrative staff notified the police that a female student had been shot and killed outside the dining hall by a fellow classmate. The Kanpur-born student, named Sneha Chaurasia, was transported right away to Yatharth Hospital in Greater Noida, where her death was pronounced, according to SM Khan, deputy commissioner of police for Greater Noida.
He added that both Chaurasia and the male student were residing on campus in the dorms for ladies and boys. The male student fatally shot his classmate before going to the boys’ dorm and shooting himself in the head, according to the DCP.
“A firearm made in the country was found there. A guy’s pupil passed away suddenly. According to an early investigation, both students had been dating for some time before things went south,” Khan said.
The police are currently investigating
The bodies were transported for a post-mortem examination after the police notified the families of both students.
“Even though the university has been on summer break since May 17, both students remained on campus with special authorization from the school. Due to the fact that all students had left for the summer break, the campus was mainly deserted when the incident occurred. According to a police investigation, the murdered students’ semesters were almost over, and they were scheduled to graduate the following month. The investigator also noted that there were no witnesses to the shooting.
The incident, according to the investigator, was recorded by the dining hall’s CCTV cameras. Despite having glass doors, the hallway was secured. Around 1:00 p.m., the two students congregated outside. On either side of the hall are the dorms for boys and girls. The students could be seen cuddling and conversing on the CCTV footage. Presumably a gift, the male student had brought something with him to deliver to the female. She was shot in the abdomen by the male student after she was observed rejecting the package. After being shot, she attempted to fight the attacker, but he shot her again, and she fell to the ground. The male was subsequently observed running in the direction of the boys’ hostel,” the investigator said, requesting anonymity.
