‘Want justice for son’: KIIT 2nd year engineering student death case takes ‘murder’ turn

A new twist has emerged in the death case of a KIIT student at a morrum quarry under the Chandaka police limits on the outskirts of Bhubaneswar. What was initially suspected to be an accident has now taken a different turn, with allegations surfacing that the student was murdered.

The deceased student has been identified as N. Aditya Abhijit, a resident of Unit-6 area in Bhubaneswar. The 20-year-old deceased, N. Aditya, was a second-year Electrical Engineering student at KIIT University.

Pre-Planned Murder

According to the complaint filed by his father, Ajit Kumar Nayak, his son was killed. As per the FIR, on the 13th of this month, Aditya had gone for a picnic with his friends, who were also studying at KIIT, to the Balunkeswar Pathargadia area. His father has alleged that Aditya was murdered there in a pre-planned manner.

He further stated that two days prior to the incident, Aditya had an altercation with some students. Ajit Nayak suspects the involvement of two former KIIT students in his son’s death. All the students who had gone for the picnic were from KIIT University.

Following the complaint lodged by his father at Chandaka Police Station, police have converted the case from an unnatural death to a murder case and have begun an investigation.

No Concrete Evidence

However, according to police sources, the post-mortem report indicates that Aditya died due to drowning. So far, no concrete evidence of murder has been found.

Meanwhile, no official response has been received from the KIIT University authorities regarding the matter.

“I suspect they took him to the crime spot in a pre-planned manner because there is no reason they went to that place so far away from KIIT. I went to KIIT Khao Gali and came to know that it is unacceptable that he had gone so far to that place. So, he was taken there in a pre-planned manner. There were students from KIIT Khao Gali and CIPET. But the main accused is the student from CIPET. I called him and tried to talk to him, but he could not give me a perfect answer. He is just changing his statements. All we want is justice for our son,” the victim’s father stated.
