Karnataka college student commits suicide

UDUPI: A first-year degree student allegedly committed suicide in Brahmavar on Wednesday, and left behind a note which cited mental harassment by teachers as the reason for him taking this extreme step.
The deceased is Charan,19, a student of a college in Hebri.
As Charan was short on attendance, the college principal allegedly denied him a hall ticket and told him to get his parents.
Accordingly Chandra Shetty, Charan’s father, met the principal on Tuesday. However, the principal said the college has not taken any decision on whether Charan will be given a hall ticket or not, and that the decision on this will be communicated shortly.
Upset at this decision, Charan, after returning from college, dropped his bag at his house and went out and did not come back on Wednesday.
A teacher later called Charan’s parents and said that he had sent messages to all his friends that he was committing suicide.
When his parents searched for him, they found him hanging from a tree with a nylon rope in a small wooded area near the house.
Charan also left a note in his pant pocket that stated that the college staff were insulting him and harassing him. Brahmavar police station registered the case and an investigation is on.
