Meanwhile, Satyayan’s father, a retired government employee, Sujit Kumar Dey, was informed about the incident and he rushed to SMCH.
However, Satyayan’s father remained tight-lipped over what could have forced his son to take such a step.
At the time of filing of this report, Satyayan’s elder cousin Sandipan Dey told Northeast Now that as of now, he is still in SMCH but out of danger as declared by the doctors.
Sandipan added, “Let him come out of this ordeal, only then, we would try to find out as to why he took such a drastic step of jumping from the Barak Bridge after coming out of his classes in college.”
