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.

May 12: A Madhya Pradesh Police sub-inspector was fined Rs 5,000 after he performed a daredevil act of balancing himself on two moving cars, copying the famous stunt from Ajay Devgn-starrer 'Singham'.

Manoj Yadav, the in-charge of Narsinghgarh police post in Damoh district, was also warned against any such daredevilry in future, police sources said on Monday.

Sporting shades as the hero of the cop drama film and wearing his police uniform, Yadav got the entire episode video-graphed, they said.

May 11: Two youths allegedly gang-raped a teen and then hacked to death her 11-year old brother, who had seen their act, in a bid to hide their crime, at a village in Uttar Pradesh's Etah district, about 300 kilometres from here.

Police sources said that two youths, resident of the same village, barged into the house of the teen, when she was alone, and allegedly gang-raped her.

The victim's minor brother suddenly came into the house and protested after he witnessed his sister being sexually assaulted, sources said. The youths allegedly strangled the minor with a towel.

The alleged culprits, who hailed from influential families, 'forced' the victim's parents to bury their son and warned them against approaching the cops.

The parents, however, gathered courage and met senior police officials in Etah on Sunday after a case was registered in this regard. Police said that the body of the minor would be exhumed and a postmortem examination would be conducted.
