Instagram Educator Dies After Balcony Fall at University in Bhopal
Instagram educator and first-year MMC student at Makhanlal Chaturvedi University dies after falling from campus building’s third-floor balcony; inquiry underway.
Mumbai, November 03, 2025: A tragic incident at the Bisankhedi campus of Makhanlal Chaturvedi University of Journalism and Communication in Bhopal claimed the life of Divyansh Chouksey, a first-semester MA Mass Communication student known for his popular Instagram educational page “NCERT Gyaan”. He slipped from the third-floor balcony of the Takshashila building around 11:30 a.m. while heading to class and sustained critical injuries. His family had been alerted and he was rushed to Hajela Hospital before being transferred to Apollo Sage Hospital, but unfortunately he succumbed to his injuries on Friday evening.
University officials and police have launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the fall. Preliminary reports suggest the railing of the balcony where Divyansh had stepped may be only three and a half feet in height, which might not have provided adequate protection. Investigation teams are reviewing CCTV footage from adjacent corridors and recording statements from classmates and faculty.
Divyansh, originally from Raisen district, had built a following of more than five lakh on Instagram through his educational posts and video content. His peers described him as passionate about his studies and committed to helping other students. The university expressed regret over the incident and conveyed condolences to his family, which was informed immediately after the accident.
This incident raises concerns about campus safety standards, including balcony guardrails, supervision in student areas, and emergency response readiness in higher-education institutes. As urban campuses grow and social-media-savvy students engage outside classrooms, ensuring safe infrastructure and prompt medical facilities becomes increasingly important.
