IIT-Roorkee expels 5 for brutal assault on student; all on run for 4 months

Roorkee: IIT-Roorkee has expelled five students and suspended two others for one year after they assaulted a fellow student near the campus in March, leaving him hospitalised with serious head injuries. The action was taken on June 18 following an internal probe but was kept confidential by the institute to avoid campus unrest and media attention. It confirmed the decision only after repeated queries from TOI. The five accused students named in the FIR have been absconding for over four months. On the night of Mar 23, Kishan Singh Kesari, a final-year student of the five-year integrated MTech geology technology programme and a resident of Dhanbad, went to meet a senior at a hotel near the campus. A group of intoxicated students allegedly passed inappropriate comments at him while he waited at the reception. When Kesari objected, they attacked him, hitting his head multiple times with glass bottles before fleeing the spot, leaving him unconscious. Kesari was taken to the institute hospital with injuries to his head, face, eyes and nose. He received stitches and was referred to a hospital in Dehradun for nasal and facial surgery. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investire per il futuro?

On Mar 26, police registered a case under BNS sections 109 (attempt to murder), 191-2 (rioting), and 191-3 (rioting with deadly weapons) against Vaibhav Singh (5-year integrated MTech geology technology) from Mirzapur, UP; Vipin Kumar (final-year BTech civil engineering) from Badhwana, Charkhi Dadri in Haryana; Utkarsh Gautam (final-year BTech mechanical) from Bijuri, MP; Anmol Raj (third-year BTech civil engineering) from Aliganj, Bihar; and Nitin Pratap Singh (final-year BArch) from Ghaziabad. Based on a complaint by Kesari's father, the institute initiated an internal inquiry and referred the case to the executive committee of the students' affairs council (SAC). The SAC found seven students guilty. On its recommendation, IIT-Roorkee expelled the five students named in the FIR and suspended two others — Dhairya Raniwal and Amod, both first-year BTech students — for one year. "One of the accused, Nitin Pratap Singh, had earlier been suspended for unruly behaviour on campus," Ajit said. A preliminary probe suggested that the assault stemmed from long-standing animosity linked to student union elections. Sources said tensions had built up over time before erupting into the violent attack. Before the assault, Kesari had informed institute authorities that he was facing threats from the same group of students. The institute provided a security guard for two days but took no long-term preventive steps. Though the institute initially kept the disciplinary action confidential, it confirmed the decision only after TOI's persistent inquiries. "The students have been expelled and suspended," Sonika Srivastava, head of the institute's media cell, told TOI. The disciplinary action has left parents of the penalised students anxious. They have urged the institute to reconsider the expulsions and suspensions and allow re-admission through a mercy plea. "I am a farmer. I have two children. My daughter is younger. We had great hopes for our son, but now everything feels shattered. We appeal to the institute and Kesari's family to consider our situation and reduce the punishment," said Dharmendra Kushwaha, father of Anmol Raj. Ajit said doctors in Dehradun advised Kesari to continue head medication for at least one to two years. "He cannot work on a laptop for more than two to three hours at a stretch due to changes in his eye power. Since May, he has been attending online psychological counselling once a month and has been prescribed antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs." He added, "Kishan started working from home this month for a US-based software company that placed him in Jan 2025. But sitting continuously in front of a computer remains difficult for him." -------------Timeline --------------- Jan 2025 – Kishan Singh Kesari, MTech student from Dhanbad, placed in US software firm (product manager, WFH, one US visit yearly) March 23, 2025 – Attacked with beer bottles near campus by group of students; suffered repeated head blows, left unconscious, critical March 24, 2025 – Hospitalised; FIR against 5 under attempt to murder; all absconded April 2025 – Police confirm accused still missing; key attacker Nitin Pratap Singh earlier expelled from IIT-R May 7, 2025 – IIT-R Students Affairs Council meets to decide disciplinary action June 2025 – On committee's recommendation, 7 students penalised: 5 terminated, 2 BTech first-years suspended for 1 year
