BHUBANESWAR: A 20-year-old girl student of a private college in Patia allegedly died by suicide by hanging in her hostel room on Sunday evening. Police said she was reportedly upset with her boyfriend for which she decided to end her life.
The deceased, a second-year student of integrated MBA course, was a native of Dhenkanal district. She reportedly took the extreme step by hanging from a ceiling fan using a stole when she was alone in the room.
When her roommates returned, they found the room’s door locked from the inside, following which they alerted the hostel’s staff.
