A BCA student allegedly committed suicide after she got fed up of facing humiliation due to eve-teasing by two senior students here today, police said today.

The woman, aged around 19 years, was a second year student of Bachelors of Computer Application at the CSJM University here, they said.

She hanged herself to the ceiling fan of her house, police said.

The woman had told her father that two senior students -- Aniket Pandey and Aniket Dixit -- used to humiliate her daily, said Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Akhilesh Kumar.

The girl had also complained to police on March 12, but later she had said in writing that she does not want any action against the alleged eve-teasers, the SSP added.

 

The woman's family members have levelled serious charges against Kalyanpur police.

They have alleged that the police colluded with the accused and let them roam freely that abetted the girl to take extreme step.

On the basis of this complaint, Sub-Inspector Ajay Mishra has been placed under suspension, while Station House Officer Sameer Singh has been attached with the reserve police lines, SSP said.
