The tragic and suspicious death of Arnab Mukherjee, a third-year engineering student from West Bengal studying at KIIT University in Bhubaneswar, has taken a new turn.
Subrat Kumar Dash, State President of the National People’s Liberal Party (NPLP), has filed a complaint with the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) under NHRC No. 7055/2025, demanding justice for the grieving family.
The complaint seeks an ex-gratia amount of Rs 50 lakh to be granted to the family of the deceased student, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances in the Mancheswar police station area on March 31, 2025. The case has now been brought under scrutiny by several key parties, including the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Bhubaneswar, the Director General of Police (DG Police) Odisha, the Home Secretary of Odisha, and KIIT University authorities.
Dash emphasized the need for swift and transparent action in his complaint, urging the NHRC to hold the parties accountable for any negligence that may have contributed to the unfortunate incident. Meanwhile, authorities are under pressure to provide clarity and closure to the student’s family and the university community.
The investigation is ongoing as the involved parties prepare to respond to the NHRC’s directives.
