Girl ends life in hostel room

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, AUG. 6 The alleged suicide of a 19-year-old girl shook the City's Mount Carmel College hostel inmates here on Monday morning. The body of S.R. Pragnya, a pre-university PCMB student, was found hanging by a dupatta in her hostel room.

According to police, a suicide note spoke of a relationship turned sour. However, it also carried the statement that nobody was responsible for her death.

At about 10 a.m., Pragnya reportedly told her friends that she was feeling sleepy and would come to class later. But, when she was not seen even after two hours, her friends went back to her room, only to find her body.

Taking up a case of unnatural death, the High Grounds police questioned Pragnya's classmates and college teachers. The body was shifted to Bowring Hospital for post-mortem and later handed over to the relatives.

Police said Pragnya was the daughter of Mr. Ramachandran of Shantahalli in Somwarpet in Kodagu. They alerted her local guardian, Mr. Ravikumar from Sadashivanagar, and her other relatives.

Stunned by news of the suicide, the hostel inmates were seen sobbing and consoling each other. Classes were suspended for the afternoon and students asked to clear out of the campus at the earliest.
