By Reshma Pasupuleti The three women medical students reportedly jumped into a well to end their lives.
Three college students have allegedly committed suicide at a private medical college in Tamil Nadu’s Villupuram district on Saturday.
The three women medical students reportedly jumped into a well to end their lives. The girls have left behind a suicide note in which they blamed the college’s poor facility and the indifference of the college management that forced them to take the extreme step.
The letter also states that the students have been charged exorbitant fees and the three who haven’t even finished their second year have spent close to Rs 6 lakh without getting the basic education of a medical college.
The letter also alleges ill treatment by the college principle who called these children criminal. The girls, in their suicide note, have said that they have taken this extreme step to bring attention of the nation to this issue in the campus and have also said that there will be a lot of false accusation on them after their death and that no one should believe such false accusation.
The young women were undergraduate students of SVS Medical College of Naturopathy and Yoga Sciences in Villupuram. A police complaint has been registered and investigations have been ordered in this case.
More than 20 students have been protesting about the poor facilities that have were provided in the college.
Even though the girls were part of a protest, none of the fellow students from the college or hostel were present at the site. According to the latest reports, the college campus and the hostel is pitch dark and there is no sign of any activity there.
Earlier, the district collector after receiving complaints from the students about the college had set up a special team under the leadership of DRO to inquire into the matter, but no action was taken and the details of the report are still not available.
