Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad is in the headlines after its second-year PGP student hanged himself in his hostel room. The students found dead in his hostel room at the B-school's new campus in Vastrapur on Thursday. As per the investigation, stress lead the student towards taking such harsh step. However, the exact reason is still unknown.
According to Vastrapur police, the deceased, Akshith Bhukya, 24, a native of Warangal in Telangana, was found hanging in his hostel room around 10.45am
Following his death, the IIM-A authorities declared The Red Brick Summit (TRBS), a premier management conclave, cancelled. Bhukya was the primary coordinator for the prestigious three-day event, scheduled to begin on Sep 27.
Commenting on the incidence, Himanshu Kumar Verma, DCP, Zone-1 said, "Prima facie, we do not suspect any foul play in the incident. The investigation so far indicates that Bhukya was possibly under stress due to the TRBS that was scheduled to begin on Friday. This is just the preliminary detail, and we are further investigating if he suffered from depression or if there was any other issue at play.
IIM Ahmedabad offer various facilities to the candidates. Some of the facilities are enlisted below:
- Auditoriums
- Academic Block
- Administrative Block
- Student Housing
- Faculty Housing
- Gym & Yoga Room
- Outdoor & Indoor Sports
- Wi-Fi Campus

Verma said that Bhukya's parents have been informed about the incident. They were expected to reach Ahmedabad on Thursday night. V D Mori, in-charge inspector of Vastrapur police, said that Bhukya was coordinating for the Red Brick Summit and had last spoken to a friend around 10am on Thursday.
"After talking to his friend, he went to his room around 10.30am. When calls made by his friends went unanswered, they came to check on him and knocked on the door of his room. When they received no response, they entered his room through the window and found him hanging by a rope," Mori said. "His friends told us that he was the lead coordinator for the summit and was under stress," Mori added.
The nature of stress, however, is being investigated. "We have registered a case of accidental death. The body has been sent to Sola Civil Hospital for postmortem," Mori said.
