A first-year undergraduate student of Gujarat National Law University (GNLU) Gandhinagar died on Thursday while he was in Bhopal to attend a sports festival held at National Law Institute University (NLIU).

The student, Tushar Mali, reportedly fell from the fourth floor of a hotel near Chetak Bridge in Bhopal.

As per the police investigation, Tushar was 'partying' with a group of friends in a hotel room on the fourth floor, when someone knocked on the door. Tushar then proceeded to escape by climbing out of the window onto an iron scaffolding behind the hotel, as he feared the knock was from a warden.

The scaffolding was installed by the hotel for cleaning and maintenance, but a portion of it was open and led to Tushar's fatal fall, reports say. His friends rushed him to AIIMS-Bhopal, where he was declared dead on arrival.

The sports festival was conducted on the weekend of October 10-13. The NLIU Student Body suspended the Valedictory Ceremony and instituted a formal code of conduct to observe two minutes of silence before every game to honour the student.
