The state human rights commission (SHRC) on Friday issued notice to the directorate of collegiate education (DCE) in Chennai seeking a report in connection with the suicide bid by a woman MPhil student after her thesis was rejected by her professor.

The commission asked the director of DCE to inquire into the matter and submit a detailed report within two weeks failing which it will proceed with taking action as it deems fit and proper.

The 23-year-old student of the Government Arts College in Kumbakonam in Thanjavur district attempted to commit suicide by consuming acid kept in the college laboratory on Wednesday. The issue came to light on Thursday morning.

The college administration maintained that the thesis was rejected as it was incomplete and added that the professor had asked her to take an extension. The Kumbakonam East police station which was investigating the case said on Friday that the issue was settled amicably between the student and the professor and no case was registered.
