Vadodara: A PhD student living in Anand died after accidentally falling off the terrace of old Vikrambaug quarters on MS University (MSU) campus on Friday night.
Hitesh Yadav (28), a native of Ahmedabad and studying in Anand was in Vadodara on Friday as his friend had called him over for birthday dinner. Around 11 pm, Yadav received a call on his mobile phone and he went on the terrace to talk.
A few minutes later, his friend and his family members heard a loud thud on the ground floor.
When they checked, Yadav was lying in a pool of blood. He had fallen on a parked scooter. The vehicle’s front body was also damaged due to the impact. Yadav was rushed to SSG Hospital for treatment where he succumbed on Saturday morning. “It seems that he fell off accidentally as the terrace’s walls are just two feet high.
His parents have also not raised any suspicions, so as of now it seems to be an accidental death,” said inspector S G Solanki of Sayajigunj police station. He added that Yadav had done his BSc from MSU in the past.
On Saturday, his body was handed over to his family members after post-mortem. A case of accidental death was registered at Sayajigunj police station.
