A tragic incident unfolded in Bihar’s capital, Patna, where a 22-year-old student lost his life on the premises of a law college following a brutal attack. Harsh Raj, a third-year student of Vocational English at BN College, was fatally beaten by masked men armed with sticks during an exam at Sultanganj Law College.

The main accused in the incident, Chandan Yadav, a final-year student of Patna College, has been arrested, revealing a chilling backstory to the gruesome crime that shocked the city.

The tragic turn of events was traced back to an altercation that occurred during a Dandiya night event last year, escalating tensions between two groups that ultimately culminated in the fatal attack on Harsh.

Police have initiated an investigation and are working to identify and apprehend all involved in the heinous crime.

The devastating loss has highlighted the need for improved safety measures and vigilance on college campuses to prevent such tragic incidents from recurring. As the investigation unfolds and more details come to light, the memory of Harsh Raj serves as a reminder of the urgent need to address underlying tensions and conflicts within educational institutions to safeguard the lives of students and ensure a secure environment for learning and growth in Bihar’s academic landscape.
