Loitam richard, aged 19 from manipur, studying Architecture Engineering at Acharya NRV School of  Architecture Bangalore was allegedly beaten  to death by senior hostelmates when he switched  the channel of the TV while watching an IPL match on the night of 18th april 2012 in his hostel.

Sources have revealed that Richard had a tiff with his classmate and some senior butt in and beat him up severely. His head was banged repeatedly against the steel frames of a window. The deformed window frames screams about  those horrific last moments Richard went throught before his death.

The management at Acharya Institute have tried to wash their hands off the incident by claiming Richard  to be a drug abuser  and linking his death  with the previous minor accident  he met few days before that fateful night.
