Tragic Case of Student Suicide Sparks Investigation

A tragic incident unfolded in Hayathnagar as a 21-year-old B Tech student, reportedly harassed by a college official, took his own life. The young man committed suicide at his residence on Saturday, said the local police on Sunday.

The student's father accused a private college official of demanding Rs 5,000 from his son on April 17 for a hall ticket due to low attendance. The official allegedly humiliated the student, dismissing his explanation regarding health issues. The student died by suicide the following day, April 18, according to the father's complaint.

Authorities have registered a case and initiated an investigation into the matter. Police mentioned that they would extend the probe to include the college management's involvement, if deemed necessary.
