According to reports, the student, who was pursuing medical studies, was allegedly subjected to harassment by senior students. The family claimed that the repeated incidents of ragging caused severe mental stress and affected the student’s well-being.
The student was found in a critical condition after the suicide attempt and was immediately taken for medical treatment. Doctors are monitoring the student’s condition, while authorities have started looking into the allegations.
