"Scared, Come Fast": Jadavpur Student Told Mother Hour Before Fatal Fall

Swapnadip Kundu, a first-year undergraduate student, had fallen from a second-floor balcony of Jadavpur University's main hostel building on Wednesday.

The student who died after falling from the second floor of a hostel in Kolkata's Jadavpur University had called his mother barely an hour before the incident and told her he was scared. He had pleaded with his mother, who lives in a town 100 km away, to "come fast" and said he had lots to tell her. 

The family and a classmate have alleged that the 18-year-old was a victim of ragging. 

Swapnadip Kundu was a first-year undergraduate student of Bengali (Honours) and had fallen from the balcony of the main hostel building in the university around 11.45 pm on Wednesday. He was taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead at 4.30 am on Thursday.
