She is said to have fallen from the 3rd floor of her hostel on July 14th. She eventually succumbed to the injuries. 

Sukriti Saha has maintained that the police have not conducted due diligence in the investigations. She does not concur with them over the characterization of the death as a suicide. She claims that the CCTV footage obtained from a neighbouring quarters suggests that Riti was wearing a t-shirt and a dark pair of shorts whereas the footage from the hostel shows a girl going up the stairs in a calf length nighty with an ipad in her hand.
