Suicide
Kolkata: In an unfortunate incident, a second-year nursing student of Seth Sukhlal Karnani Memorial (SSKM) Hospital in the city allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself in a locked washroom of her hostel on the hospital premises in south Kolkata on Wednesday night.
According to the police, the woman was a 26-year-old student studying general nursing and midwifery course at the college.
To gain a deeper understanding of her death, the SSKM Medical College and Hospital have constituted a five-member committee to probe the matter.
Litton hostel inmates told the investigation's police officials that they informed the authorities after finding the door of the bathroom bolted from the inside and one of the inmates was not seen for a long time.
Police were informed, and after breaking the door open, the second-year nursing student was found partially hanging by a towel around her neck. Following this, she was immediately taken to the emergency room, where the medics pronounced her dead.
