A student of IIT Guwahati died after drowning in the Brahmaputra river, while another was rescued, police said. The two girls had gone outside the campus to spend time by the riverside when they accidentally slipped and fell into the river. Local sailors were the first to respond, rescuing one of them, and were followed by a National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) team that arrived at the scene. The rescued student was reported to be injured. Police have not released the names of the students. The incident took place near the IIT Guwahati campus, which sits along the Brahmaputra. An investigation is underway. The death of the student has cast a pall over the institute, where such riverside visits are common among students seeking a break from campus life. Authorities have urged students to exercise caution near the river. Further details, including the condition of the rescued student, have not been disclosed by police.
