Another student jumps to death at Kattankulathur
Chennai: Even as the SRM University in Kattankulathur is reeling under the shock of the suicide of a final-year girl student, a first-year student jumped to his death this morning.
The student was identified as Anish Choudary (19) from Jharkhand. He was first-year engineering student and lived in the college hostel. This morning, he jumped from the second floor of a building on the campus.
The Maraimalai Nagar police have registered a case. On Sunday, an engineering student of the same university committed suicide by jumping from the eighth floor of a building. The suicide note retrieved from her room said she was upset with her parents as they restricted her life too much and did not allow her even to watch TV as she wished.
The deceased, M Anupriya, pursuing biomedical engineering, was in her final year. A resident of Ponneri in Tiruvallur district, Anupriya stayed in a hostel on the campus.
After writing her last examination Saturday, she did not vacate her room to leave for her hometown even as her mother Selvi and brother Raju Sundaram, studying at IIT-Madras, were on their way to take her home. She suddenly jumped from the terrace.
