Medical student dies after falling from hostel building

A 29-year-old student of the Indian Institute of Management in Bengaluru (IIM-B) died after he fell from the second floor of his hostel, police said on Monday. The incident occurred hours after the victim celebrated his 29th birthday with his friends on January 4.

Nilay Kailashbhai Patel, who belonged from Gujarat's Surat, went to his hostel room after cutting the cake in his friend's room after midnight, police said. He was later found lying in the courtyard lawn of the hostel at about 6.30 am on Sunday.

It is likely that Patel, a student of Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), accidentally fell from the second floor balcony, while he was going back to his room after the birthday party.
