As learnt from the students accompanying Rakshit Meena, the five SMIT students had gone to a local pub on 18 May evening to celebrate the birthday of one of the students. Inside the Café, the students had exchange of words with another group of men following a dance session. Later, when the students were coming out the café at about 1.30 AM they were assaulted by the same group of men waiting just outside the entry to the Café, in which Rakshit Singh Meena suffered fatal injuries.
As per latest reports five of the six assailants have been arrested by Sikkim Police.
The cause of death as per Hospital authorities was due to internal bleeding probably due to internal injury caused by physical assault.
The management of Sikkim Manipal University and SMIT condole the untimely demise of Rakshit Meena and offers heartfelt condolence to the bereaved family. The University would be fully cooperating with the authorities in its investigations in the case.
