TISS Student Dies of Cardiac Arrest Amid Emergency Medical Facility Concerns
P Janarthanan, a 26-year-old first-year MA student at Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), died of cardiac arrest during a class on September 7 at the Deonar campus. Students allege a lack of emergency medical facilities, including no ambulance and delayed doctor availability.

Student groups have called for an independent inquiry and improved emergency services on campus.
