A harassed undergraduate student allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the seventh floor of a college building of Amrita School of Engineering in the city’s southern suburb, said a police official on Tuesday.
“Sri Harsha, 22, the student committed suicide because of some harassment from the college management as he protested about water scarcity in the hostel,” the official told.
The college management took exception to his complaint and suspended him from gaining access to the college and summoned his parents on Monday to talk about the issue.
