Amaravati: In the Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh, a girl student at the Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT) Idupulapaya committed herself.
On Monday, she was discovered dead by hanging in her dorm room. She hung herself from a ceiling fan while studying engineering in her last year.
It was unknown why the youngster took such a drastic action. The police were investigating if she had left a suicide note.
Police moved the remains for an autopsy and started an inquiry.
The girl was residing in the dormitory on the campus of IIIT, also known as Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies, and she was from Rayachoti in the Annamayya district (RGUKT).
On Monday, students at Krishna University in Vijayawada protested to seek compensation for two students who were hurt by electric shock on campus, which contributed to the tense atmosphere there.
The students attempted to sabotage the continuing exams as they protested by sitting. They urged the university administration to finish building the hostel as soon as possible.
