In a shocking incident, a first-year student in a college in Andhra Pradesh died by suicide after jumping from the third floor of the building. The incident was captured on a surveillance camera. According to reports, the student at Narayana College in Anantapur walked out of the classroom, stood on the ledge and jumped off the third floor.
According to Anantapur rural sub-divisional police officer T. Venkateshulu, the first-year intermediate student at Narayana Junior College had returned to the college that morning after the Sankranti holidays. "After the holidays, this boy came to college at around 9.30 am on Thursday morning. While the class was going on, around 11:55 pm he suddenly came out of the class and jumped from the third floor. The college management immediately took the injured student to the local hospital, but the doctors declared him dead after examination," Venkateshulu said.
A video from the classroom showed the boy, Charan, leaving the room when the class was ongoing. He walked towards the ledge and died by suicide. His classmates walk out of the room to see what happened.
The reason for the suicide is not known yet and the matter is under investigation.
There was also concern that a criminal case might be registered against the college management. However, after getting information about this, the police reached the spot and made security arrangements in front of the college. Besides, student organisations are also protesting in front of the college and demanding closure of Narayana College.
