Heart breaking: Harassment Leads Student to End Life
In yet another distressing episode in Mahabubabad district of Telangana, a 17-year-old polytechnic student ended her life due to continuous harassment by one youth in the name of love. This girl was a first-year student at a polytechnic in Kodada, and she had big dreams in her eyes to finish her education and live a bright future. However, all of that big hope was washed away by constant harassment from a young man from Khammam town.
Unable to bear the torment anymore, the student consumed poison last Thursday in a bid to end her life. In this regard, her family had rushed her to the private hospital in Mahabubabad, where she was battling for her life. Although her health was deteriorating, she managed to tie ‘rakhi’ to her younger brother and cousin on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan on Saturday. Sniffing the poison, she could get the smell of it and decided to kill herself crying the whole night. She died the next day early hours of Sunday after succumbing to the poison, thereby leaving the family engulfed in grief and tears.
