In the region of Indira Vihar, a 17-year-old IIT-JEE candidate was fatally attacked, according to police on Tuesday. While the deceased was at a tea stand here late on Monday night, three youngsters who were also allegedly tutoring kids beat him with iron rods and chains, they added.
According to authorities, the deceased was identified as Satyaveer, also known as Rajveer, alias Ronak. He had spent almost two years studying for the IIT-JEE at a local coaching center.

According to authorities, the deceased’s body has been deposited in the mortuary of the New Medical College Hospital for the post-mortem examination, which will take place upon the arrival of his family members from Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh.
A local shopkeeper claimed to have witnessed some young people pursuing the 17-year-old youngster while brandishing iron rods and chains before attacking him.
