“It is too early to jump to any conclusion regarding the incident’s cause. Police are probing the matter, and we hope the truth will surface soon. Since the family members of Dr Akash Bhengra and the campus doctors are in deep shock from this tragic incident, we request everyone not to speculate until the police investigation is complete,” stated the JDA in a press communiqué released on Monday evening.

A condolence meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow at the RIMS INIAM hall at 10 am to pay homage to Dr Akash Bhengra.
