The probe, police sources said, revealed that nearly 125 students had attended the late-night party at one Roar Lounge in Vashi. Sources added that the deceased TISS student continued to drink getting alcohol through friends and other attendees since the bartenders had refused to serve him due to him being severely intoxicated.

It is yet to be ascertained how much liquor the deceased TISS student had consumed on Saturday night and whether his death was caused by alcohol overdose.

"Based on the statements we’ve gathered, we are confident that no ragging incidents occurred, as suspected initially," said a senior officer of the Mumbai police.
