    Source = http://www.bindass.com/post/death-at-hansraj-college-suicide-or-murder/

    What you think on this issue?

    Is this a murder or a suicide?

    If its a murder then why would some one murder a blind guy so brutally? And my classmate has a room just next to the victim's room. He haven't heard any voice of anything going on there.

    If its a suicide then how come a blind man commit suicide with his both hands tied on his back.

    Please share your views..

    It's amazing what crime scene investigators can uncover. I wonder if they could get an idea if the victim tied his own hands by examination of the knot? He would have to be standing on something higher like a chair, with the noose already secured around his neck. Then tie the knot securely with his hands behind his back. Then jump, kind of kicking away whatever he was standing on. That would be difficult, but probably not impossible. They could have looked at the angle or how it was tied. They could have also searched his body, clothes, and room for tiny fibers or hairs that don't really belong there, any signs of struggle, fingerprint dusting, and so forth.

    I think they should have started the investigation as a likely murder. It just sounds strange that a week later the police are still saying they don't know if it was a murder or suicide. My guess would be murder.

    Considering how difficult it is to tie your own hands behind your back its unlikely that someone would do it before killing themselves.

    I have seen the movie '3 idiots' and it seems these suicide incidents in Indian universities are common. But I think somebody killed this blind student and made it look like suicide. There is no reason why the person committing suicide would tie his hands behind back.
    I hope the authorities get the evil doers behind it soon.:(

    In Russia we have a joke that states a police report: "arrested person was hitting himself hard against the boots of police officers for 30 minutes and consequently died as his own fault" (if you can read between the lines you'll know exactly what I mean).

    What I mean is that it sounds very, very hard for a blind person to tie his own arms up and then hang himself. I'd put 500 rupees on him having been killed.

    Sadly you need a very good investigator to figure this out, so I suggest you call Horatio from CSI Miami TV series:)

    Blind people can be as nasty as the next guy... while murder is never the way to resolve a dispute it's unrealistic to think that because he's blind he's somehow nicer than everyone else.

    I suspect the college administrators are unwilling to have a murder on their campus and will be putting pressure on the police to delay making their official statement. A suicide isn't great but the negative press associated with a murder isn't good for your collegiate profile.
