The police said an inquiry had been initiated into the incident and the cause would be ascertained only after completion of the probe.

Meanwhile, RGUKT officials drew flak for allegedly keeping the incident under wraps. They did not disclose the reason behind the incident till the reports reached here. They were criticised for not providing clarity on whether it was an accident or an alleged suicide attempt by the student.
