The investigation into the death of an IIT Bombay student has moved into a new phase as law enforcement officials begin a detailed review of surveillance footage. The footage captures the student's final walk from an examination hall back to their hostel room, a path that has become a focal point for investigators attempting to reconstruct the timeline of events leading up to the tragedy.

A specialized crime branch team, headed by police officer Dharamveer Bansod, has been tasked with analyzing the video evidence. While the investigation is ongoing, the focus remains on the sequence of events immediately preceding the student's death. Authorities have not yet released specific findings from the footage, nor have they commented on whether the video provides definitive insight into the cause of the incident. The university has remained largely quiet as the police inquiry proceeds, and the case has drawn attention to the broader environment and pressures faced by students on campus. As the crime branch continues its work, the primary objective remains determining the exact circumstances of the student's final hours.
