Engineering student falls from hostel building, suicide suspected · indianexpress.com

A 16-year-old student named Tushar Patel went to school to learn about machines and engines.

He studied at a technical institute in the city of Ahmedabad in India.

One day, Tushar fell from the very top of the building where he stayed.

The building was very tall, and he fell from the 12th floor.

Sadly, Tushar did not survive the fall.

The police came to investigate what happened.

They think Tushar may have jumped on purpose, which is called suicide.

But the police could not find any clear reason why he would do that.

Tushar had come back to school just one day before, after visiting his family in his village.

Everyone is very sad, and the police are still looking into the case.
