Police investigators believe stress may have been the likely cause behind the suicide even as the incident is being probed further.

According to Vastrapur police, the deceased, Akshith Bhukya, 24, a native of Warangal in Telangana, was found hanging in his hostel room around 10.45am.

Following his death, the IIM-A authorities declared The Red Brick Summit (TRBS), a premier management conclave, cancelled. Bhukya was the primary coordinator for the prestigious three-day event, scheduled to begin on Sep 27.

Verma said that Bhukya's parents have been informed about the incident. They were expected to reach Ahmedabad on Thursday night.

V D Mori, in-charge inspector of Vastrapur police, said that Bhukya was coordinating for the Red Brick Summit and had last spoken to a friend around 10am on Thursday.

Bhukya's LinkedIn profile mentions that he was a BTech graduate in computer science from Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal.

He worked as a software developer for more than a year in Hyderabad before joining the IIM-A in 2023.
