The woman allegedly jumped from the terrace of the Sassoon General Hospital due to her depression of failing to complete her examination studies. PTI reports.

This shocking incident happened on Wednesday morning around 10:30. The young woman lying in a pool of blood was immediately admitted to the hospital for treatment. But, she died during the treatment.

"She was a first-year medical student and was apparently under stress due to the pressure of studies. She had been crying often in the last three-four days. Her parents had advised her to appear for the exam even if she had not prepared well," said Deputy Commissioner of Police Smartana Patil.

Her parents had even taken her to a psychiatrist for consultation and stayed by her side for the last three days, the official said.

"Today they accompanied her to the college, but she somehow went to the terrace of the hospital and jumped down. She was admitted to the ICU but succumbed during treatment," DCP Patil said, adding that further probe was on.

A case has been registered in this case and Bundagarden Police is conducting further investigation.
