New Delhi, November 22, 2014 (PTI) A 21-year-old youth from Manipur died under mysterious circumstances last night in south Delhi's Munirka area, in the third death of students from the hilly state in the city in the last 48 hours. The deceased, identified as Thangsolian (21) lived in a room on the first floor in Ber Sarai area. He worked at a private company and was doing a course in stenography at an institute at R K Puram.

He was rushed to AIIMS trauma centre where he was declared dead and subsequently police was informed," said a police official.

Thangsolian had gone to watch a football match at Ambedkar stadium and had returned home after that. He had consumed



alcohol with his friends after that. Prima facie it has appeared that he slipped while climbing the staircase and died due to excessive blood loss from the head injuries he sustained in the accident, police said.
