Chennai: In an unfortunate incident, a final-year medical student of Meenakshi Medical College in Kanchipuram allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of her hostel building.
The 23-year-old student, also a trainee doctor at the institute was reportedly suffering from depression due to relationship issues with a fellow medical student. It is suspected that she may have taken the drastic step as her relationship was on the brink of ending.
According to the police, the student started their relationship in the first year but gradually stopped talking and separated in their third year. This caused her extreme mental and emotional distress.

Although her father who is employed in Abu Dhabi attempted to reconcile the two of them, their relationship did not improve and issues continued to arise. Her mother then took her to Vellore CMC Hospital for treatment, as per DT Next news report.
The incident occurred on Sunday night when the student from Tirunelveli was sitting outside the fifth-floor window sill for a long time. She was caught on camera by other students and college staff crying while sitting there.
Following this, the students and staff tried to convince her to come down but she refused to do so. When they noticed that talking led to no solution, they began to set up safety nets to catch her if she jumped. However, before they could complete the setup, she had already jumped, reports TOI.
Immediately, the administration rushed her to the college hospital for emergency treatment but later succumbed to severe injuries to her head, legs and other parts of her body.
Later, the police were informed and a preliminary investigation was conducted. The police then sent her body for postmortem and registered a case. An investigation is underway.
