According to Chandanagar police, Mohini used to stay at Ladies Hostel VIII and she along with other girl students came to south campus to join in a class get together to discuss about the arrangements for the upcoming fresher's party.

The eight-member group had gone to an under-construction building nearby and the youngsters started discussing about the arrangements they had to make. There were snacks and some group members had also consumed liquor, but Mohini did not, Chandanagar sub-inspector B James Babu said.

While the students were having fun, Mohini excused herself from the group to attend a phone call. While talking over the phone, Mohini accidentally went to the edge of the terrace and fell from there, the SI said.

Mohini suffered multiple injuries in the accident and with the assistance of university administration, her friends immediately rushed her to a corporate hospital in Jubilee Hills. Mohini succumbed to injuries while undergoing treatment at 3.45 pm.

After recording the statements of all the students, who were with Mohini when the incident happened, police ruled out a conspiracy angle. "All her friends, who were at the spot, said that it was an accident. We have sent the body to mortuary and informed her family members," Chandanagar inspector N Venkateshwarlu said. A case was registered under section 174 (Suspicious death) of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC).

Some student leaders protested on Sunday morning demanding that the administration guard the under-construction buildings on the campus. "The administration should place security guards in front of these buildings to prevent such incidents from happening," S Harinath, a student leader, said.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

"All necessary action will be taken as per the truth that will emerge after a thorough investigation," Mr Singh said.
