IIM Ranchi student found dead: A student of the Indian Institutes of Management (IIM), Ranchi, was found hanging from a ceiling fan on Tuesday. The student was identified as Shivam Pandey, hailing from Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi. Interestingly, both hands were tied with a rope, and the main door was locked from the inside. According to police, this might be a case of "murder" rather than a suicide. 

However, it added that the body was sent for an autopsy and the exact reason for the death would be ascertained after the full medical report. Also, there was no suicide note found near the body, said police. Also, it said that a Special Investigating Team (SIT) was constituted to probe the case. As of now, police have seized a mobile phone and notebooks from the deceased room.
