Sonali Mahato (25), from Purulia district's Chitahar, was currently in an unconscious state, admitted at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where she was undergoing nursing training, they said.
"The incident happened at around 9 AM when the first year trainee nurse attempted to commit suicide inside her room on the third floor of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
"Finding the door of her room closed in that hour, one of her colleagues raised an alarm, following which the security personnel broke inside finding her hanging from the ceiling fan," a senior officer said.
