Masked Men With Sticks Beat Student, 22, To Death On Patna College Campus
A 22-year-old student was beaten to death on the campus of a law college in Bihar's capital, Patna.

A day after a 22-year-old student was beaten to death by masked men on the campus of a college in Patna, police have arrested the main accused and found that an altercation over a dandiya night last year led to the attack that claimed the youngster's life.
Harsh Raj, a third-year student of Vocational English at BN College, was at Sultanganj Law College to take an exam when masked men armed with sticks attacked him. The blows left him critically injured. Police reached the spot and rushed him to a hospital, where he died during treatment.
"Harsh Raj had gone to Sultanganj Law College to take an exam. Students have told us that masked men attacked him with sticks. We are speaking to his family members. Our forensic team, dog squad and technical team has reached the spot. We are investigating all angles," City SP (East) Bharat Soni told the media.
Chandan Yadav, also a college student, has now been arrested in the matter and is suspected to have plotted the attack with eight others. Behind the attack, police sources said, was an altercation at a dandiya event organised during Dussehra. Chandan Yadav and Harsh Raj had an argument that day and the former planned the attack. Police are now looking for the other accused.
Chilling visuals from the campus show the attackers repeatedly hit the victim with sticks. A police case has been registered and police are examining CCTV footage from the campus to identify the accused.
Bihar minister Ashok Choudhary has posted a photo of himself and Harsh and said no amount of criticism of the attack is enough. "I am in touch with the authorities regarding this incident. Those guilty will be arrested soon," the JDU leader said, adding that the government is with the family in this crisis.
The Opposition has slammed the Nitish Kumar-led BJP-JDU government over the incident. "This is very unfortunate. The law and order situation is worsening by the day ever since the NDA government was formed. They have no control on the administration. The guilty must be arrested at the earliest and face strict punishment," Leader of the Opposition, RJD's Tejashwi Yadav said.
Targeting the BJP, he said, "If this had happened in our term, they would have hit the streets and shouted 'jungleraj'. Where are they now? What are they doing?"
