KHAMMAM: An Intermediate first-year MPC student sustained injuries on Friday after jumping from her college building in an alleged attempt to end her life at the Bonkal mandal headquarters. She was admitted to the Khammam Government Hospital, where doctors said her condition was stable.
According to sources, the 16-year-old girl, who is studying at the Girls Gurukul Junior College, had not performed well in recent internal tests and had become worried about her performance in the upcoming final examinations beginning on February 26.
