A first-year girl student of Intermediate (11th standard) allegedly jumped to death from the fifth floor of her private residential college here on Tuesday, police said. The girl (16) took admission in the college three days ago. Her parents left for their native place Kamareddy town after her admission. Citing health reasons, she returned to her room in the hostel Tuesday morning, they said. She went to the fifth floor of the building alone and jumped down from the terrace. She suffered serious injuries and died on the spot, they said. The girl was aloof and home sick ever since she joined the college and asked her roommates about holidays, police said, adding that homesickness is suspected to be the reason for her extreme step. A case was registered and investigation was in progress, police added. In March this year, a 16-year-old Intermediate student allegedly died by suicide in his residential college at Narsingi here.

A tragic incident unfolded at a private residential college when a first-year girl student in the 11th standard reportedly took her own life by jumping from the fifth floor. The incident occurred on Tuesday, according to the local police. The girl, aged 16, had recently enrolled in the college and her parents had departed for their hometown, Kamareddy, after her admission.

On Tuesday morning, citing health reasons, she returned to her room in the hostel. Later, alone on the fifth floor, she jumped from the terrace, resulting in severe injuries that proved fatal. Authorities suspect that the girl's feelings of isolation and homesickness, evident since her enrollment, may have contributed to her tragic decision.

The police have registered a case and are currently conducting an investigation. It is disheartening to note that this incident follows a similar occurrence in March, when a 16-year-old Intermediate student from a residential college in Narsingi also died by suicide.
