A 20-year-old BTech student of Delhi University’s Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Khalsa College allegedly attempted to commit suicide by jumping from the third floor of the institution’s building. The girl, who was apparently under depression over her studies, however, survived the jump, but has suffered fractures in her leg and spinal cord. She is a student of B Tech second year of computer science branch.
The incident took place around 1 pm and college principal Jaswinder Singh rushed her to Bara Hindu Rao Hospital himself. She is now out of danger. Police has recovered a two-page suicide note from her in which the girl has said that she was under stress over her studies. “She was probably depressed over the way she was faring out in her studies. In the suicide note, she has said that she was too dependent on her friends for her studies,” said a police officer.
