Beijing: A 20-year-old Indian student studying in a university in the Chinese city of Tianjin has been found dead in his room and the cause of his death is not yet known, officials here said on Monday.

However, on Monday night the Indian Embassy in Beijing through an email informed the family of the deceased that he did not die of any disease but was murdered. The cause of his death is under investigation, officials have said.

Aman Nagsen, who hailed from Gaya in Bihar, was a student of Business Administration in the Tianjin Foreign Studies University. He was found dead on July 29.

He was one of the few Indian students who remained in China through the coronavirus pandemic while most of the 23,000 Indian odd students who left for home were stuck in India unable to return due to Beijing’s reluctance to lift visa restrictions.

The Indian Embassy and his family have been informed and preparations are being made to send his body home. Currently, no flights are operational between India and China.
