A third-year engineering student of IIT-Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad, was found dead in the washroom of his hostel on Thursday morning, police said.<\/p>\n

He was identified as Tanmay Prajapati (21) from Indoor in Madhya Pradesh, they added.<\/p>\n

IIT-ISM security officer Ram Manohar said that Prajapati was living in the ninth floor of the institute’s Aquamarine Hostel.<\/p>\n

“Around 9.45am, his washroom was found locked from inside. When it was broken, Prajapati was found lying unconscious on the floor. He was taken to a private hospital where doctors declared him brought dead,” Manohar said.<\/p>\n
