A 21-year-old engineering student committed suicide on Sunday by jumping off the eighth floor of her hostel on college campus. She left behind a two-page suicide note in which she specified, “No one is responsible for my death”.
The deceased, M Anupriya, had just finished her last examination on Saturday and was about to leave for home on Sunday. Her mother Selvi and younger brother Raju Sundaram, a student at IIT Madras, had arrived at the SRM University hostel on Sunday to pick her up when they heard the news. Anupriya’s father Mathiyalagan is a technician at a private company.
Police found the suicide note when examining her room in the hostel. She had addressed the letter to her brother Raju.
“She claimed that she didn’t have any freedom at home, be it watching movies, television shows or even talking to those she liked. She said her parents were constantly peeping over her shoulder when she was home,” an investigating officer, who accessed the note, said. In the letter, she advised her brother to lead the life he wanted, adding that she didn’t want to live a fake life at home.
Anupriya, who was pursuing a BTech in bio-medical engineering, shared her hostel room with two others and most students had already left after the exams. She even got an out-pass from the warden to leave the hostel on Sunday with her family.
Police said the accident took place at around 8.40am. She sustained multiple fractures to the ribs, hands and legs. Hearing her cries, the security guard and other hostel inmates rushed to the spot and some informed the authorities. She was taken to the hospital on university campus, but was declared brought dead. College authorities said Anupriya was one of the best students in the course and had scored good marks in all her previous semester examinations.
On a complaint from Selvi, the Maraimalai Nagar police registered a case under the CrPC Section 174 (unnatural death). The girl’s body was handed over to her parents after an autopsy at the Government Hospital in Chengalpet.
Police said she left behind a two-page letter addressed to her younger brother, saying she didn’t want to lead a fake life at home. She specified that no one was responsible for her death
