Hansraj Student Murdered in Hostel Room?

In an unfortunate incident, a 22 year old, BA second year student of Hansraj College was found dead in the hostel room.

Visually challenged, Mukesh Kumar was doing Hindi Honors from Hansraj College. His body was found hanging from the ceiling fan around 8.15pm on Tuesday.

The death of Mukesh is considered as murder because his hands were tied behind his back and other evidences indicate towards some foul play or murder. Police is questioning hostel mates of Mukesh.

Police suspects that some insider might have killed Mukesh. But there are possibilities that somebody sneaked in the campus and killed Mukesh as the residence area allotted to blind students is one of the most accessible portions of the hostel.

The security at the Hansraj College hostel is very strict, nobody, except ID card-holders are allowed to enter in the campus and this incident has shocked everybody.

Mukesh was from a poor family in Agra district of UP. Police and authorities are not saying much as they are waiting for the post-mortem report.

DU Basketball Team Forced to Loose the Game at Gunpoint

Cat at GunpointThe DU basketball team that went to Varanasi, to compete in All-India Inter-University Basketball championship held at Banaras Hindu University, from January 27 to February 1, was forced to loose at gunpoint.

Some unidentified goons threaten to kill DU basketball team members if they don’t forfeit their match against the host team.


The North Zone basketball champion, Delhi University basketball team was one of the favorite teams to win the tournament but they quit their semi final match against the hosts after the third quarter due to life threats and unfair play.

After returning from the Varanasi, DU basketball team captain Harish Dahiya complained about the unruly behavior of the hosts. He not only blamed the unknown criminals but also the BHU officials, who manipulated other teams and overlooked the criminals to promote their two home teams.

Not only DU team but team members of Jaipur, Chennai and Pune also said the same incident occurred with them. Chennai’s Satyabhama University team is considering going to court on this issue.

You can understand the truth of the complaints of DU and other teams by this fact that both the home teams, BHU and MG Kashi Vidyapeeth, reached the final and BHU won the title.
