Indian female student commits suicide after 'being stalked for years'

CHANDIGARH: A 19-year-old college student committed suicide at home in Panipat, Punjab, India after allegedly being stalked for many years by a school dropout on Sunday.

Neeru, a student of BSc (second year), was found hanging by her mother Meena Rani on Sunday evening at their home in Satkartar Colony of Panipat, Punjab. Neeru’s father and brother were both away from home at the time.

The police have lodged an FIR against the Class XII dropout, identified as Sidharth Kumar, after the statement issued by the Girl’s mother.

The police have started investigating the case. The accused Sidharth has yet to be arrested. According to SHO Vikas Singh, Sidharth had been stalking Neeru since her school days and would constantly call her on her mobile phone.

In her statement, Meena Rani told the police that Sidharth had called her daughter on Sunday afternoon. “She was very upset after that and had gone to her room.”

When Neeru did not come out for dinner, her mother knocked on her door. On getting no response, Meena forced open the door to find Neeru had committed suicide.
