Trichy:30.08.2019

A 23-year-old MPhil student of Government Arts College in Kumbakonam tried to end her life by consuming acid kept in a laboratory in the college since her thesis was rejected as it was incomplete. Meanwhile, her parents said her guide had verbally abused their daughter and rejected her thesis for no reason.

The final year zoology student of Alamenkuruchi near Kumbakonam, consumed acid on Wednesday evening, according to police. Later, her classmates informed the college administration, and officials rushed her to the Kumbakonam government hospital, where doctors said her condition was stable. Sub-inspector Natarajan of Kumbakonam East police station told TOI the woman decided to take her life as her guide refused to accept her thesis saying it was incomplete.

Asked if the guide had hurled any abusive remarks at her, the SI said, “I held inquiries with three of her classmates. They said their guide Ravichandran refused to accept her thesis stating it was incomplete and not up to the level.” P Sivanesan, principal (incharge) of the college, said the guide had advised her to get an extension to submit a fullfledged thesis. But, with no time left, she went to the lab and consumed acid, he said. TNN
