A first-year student at the West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences (NUJS) died on Monday, April 13, 2026. The 19-year-old, Jose Yuan Jebin, who hailed from Kerala, reportedly fell from the sixth floor of the university's hostel in Salt Lake.
Fellow students discovered Jebin bleeding on the ground around 7:30 am and immediately transported him to Bidhannagar sub-divisional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police have registered an unnatural death case and are actively investigating the incident.
Preliminary reports suggest a possible personal dispute may have preceded the fall, though authorities are exploring all possibilities. The university community is in mourning, with the vice-chancellor calling it a "terrible loss." Counselling services are being enhanced for students.
