The family of Aditya Palei, a Plus-II first-year student at CTG College in Odisha's Keonjhar district, has appealed to Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi for a thorough investigation into his death. Aditya died after allegedly falling from the fourth floor of the college building on Friday, 6 November 2026. The family received a call from college authorities around 2 pm that day and found him writhing in pain at the hospital, with a fractured hand and chest pain. Aditya was later shifted to a private hospital in Bhubaneswar, where he succumbed to his injuries. The family has termed the death suspicious, questioning how a fall from a four-storey building could cause no visible external injuries or profuse bleeding. They have urged the chief minister to ensure stringent action against those responsible.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both Sambad English and Odisha Bytes publish near-identical wire-style accounts of Aditya Palei's death, attributing the suspicion entirely to the family and reporting no official comment from the college, police, or the chief minister's office. Neither outlet introduces its own framing beyond the family's appeal, the coverage is uniform straight reporting. The absence of any police or institutional response leaves the story open, and the only stated next step is the family's request for the chief minister's intervention.
