While the NIT Silchar campus in Assam continues to be in turmoil over the death of third-year student Koj Buker, who was found hanging in his hostel room on Friday afternoon, members of his family said they were waiting for answers from the investigation and post-mortem.
The family, which took the body back to their home in Arunachal Pradesh’s Ziro, said on Monday that Buker was quiet and introverted, and that he had not communicated with them about any difficulties that he may have been going through on campus.

At the institute, a large section of the student body has expressed the view that Buker was in distress because he had not been allowed to register for the fifth semester due to a backlog of papers from the first semester.
His uncle, Ate Halley, said the family was taken aback when he did not clear multiple papers.
“We were surprised about how this could happen because he was a bright boy and he had managed to crack the exam to get into NIT,” Halley said.
