A female student, pursuing her MS course at a local private medical institute, today allegedly committed suicide by jumping from its fifth floor.
26-year-old Lakshmi, hailing from Ernakulam in Kerala, a first year MS student, suddenly climbed up the stairs and jumped down from the fifth floor of the PSG Institute of Medical Science and Research, police said.
Lakshmi, who was seriously injured, was admitted to the institute hospital, but died after some time, they said.
