Kanpur:
A final year engineering student of the premiere Indian Institute
of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K), Wednesday committed suicide in her
hostel room on the campus, police said.
"The girl, aged around 22 years, was found hanging from the
ceiling fan of her hostel room. Prima-facie, it appears to be a
case of suicide," Deputy Superintendent of Police Lakshmi Narayan
Mishra told reporters in Kanpur, some 80 km from Lucknow.
The suicide came to light after the door of Madhuri's room was
broken as she did not respond to repeated door knocks by her
friends.
The police identified the girl as Madhuri Salve, a fourth year
civil engineering student hailing from Andhra Pradesh. However,
sources said the name on her identity card appeared as Madhuri
sale.
IIT-K officials, who barred the entry of reporters following the
incident, were not available for comment.
Several calls were made on the mobile phone of IIT-K Director
Sanjay Govind Dhande and Registrar Sanjeev S. Kashalkar, but the
calls were not responded.
Sources in IIT-K said a committee has been constituted to probe
into the girl's death.
