KOLKATA: More details have emerged in the shocking suicide of a student at Kolkata’s Jadavpur University. According to the reports, 18-year-old Swapondeep Kundu jumped naked from the balcony of the building; only after hollering that 'he was not gay'.

Senior student Sourabh Chowdhury has been arrested by police, as he has confessed to the crime. Chowdhury now faces charges under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

It was late into the night when many students in the hostel heard a thud from the nearby building. When reached the spot, Swapondeep was lying naked after making a fatal fall from the balcony. He was rushed to the medical college hospital but died on Thursday while undergoing treatment.
