Two others, who were allegedly involved in the incident are absconding. Efforts are on to nab them, the official said.

who were expelled from the University earlier this month, and two others and then beaten him up mercilessly with hockey sticks and iron rods, the official said. He was badly injured and taken to Holy Family Hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.
