Alwar Protest: Medical Student's Body Delay Sparks Indefinite Demonstration
A young man named Ajit went to Russia to study medicine.
He went missing, and sadly, his body was later found in a river.
The school in Russia said he took his own life.
But Ajit's family doesn't believe this and thinks something bad might have happened.
They want his body to come back to India right away so they can understand what happened and hold a proper funeral.
Because his body is taking a long time to return, and they aren't getting clear answers, Ajit's family and many people in his hometown are protesting.
They are sitting in the street until his body is brought back home.
They are also asking for a special examination of his body when it gets here.
People in the town are supporting them by closing their shops and schools.
A protest has begun in Alwar, Rajasthan, over the delayed return of a medical student's body from Russia.
Ajit Singh Chaudhary, who was studying MBBS in Ufa, Russia, has been missing since October 19 and his body was found on November 6.
Russian university authorities have declared Chaudhary's death a suicide, a claim rejected by his family who suspect foul play.
The family demands a videographed post-mortem examination in India under the supervision of the Rajasthan Medical Board.
Protesters have started an indefinite sit-in demonstration and called for market and school closures in solidarity.
