‘Depressed’ student hangs self
A 21-year-old girl reportedly committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling at her residence in Sector 19 on Thursday. The deceased, Jyoti, was a third-year BA student at Government College for Girls, Sector 11. The suicide came to light when Jyoti’s parents broke open the door after their repeated knocks went unanswered. “They immediately rushed Jyoti to the hospital. The doctors declared her dead on arrival,” said a police officer. Police recovered a suicide note from her room, in which Jyoti said she was suffering from depression. “I am committing suicide, although I know it is not the right step. No one is responsible for my suicide,” said a police officer, quoting Jyoti’s note.
