Coimbatore: An 18-year-old student at a private college here committed suicide allegedly following eve-teasing on Thursday.
The victim, S Kiruba, was a first year BCom student at Angappa College of Arts and Science, police sources said. "She was residing with her parents, who are farm labourers, at Kamarahar Nagar in Kannamapalayam area in Sulur. She consumed cow dung powder after returning from college at 7.30pm on Thursday," a police officer said.
Initially, police suspected it to be a case connected to Blue Whale Challenge. "But, detailed investigations ruled out that angle. Further investigations revealed that the girl was depressed for the past few days due to constant teasing at college. However, so far, we have not got any clue as she has not left any suicide note," the officer added.
The body was handed over to the family after postmortem.
Police have registered a case under Section 174 of CrPC (suspicious death).
