Lucknow: A female student of Lucknow University recorded on camera the entire sequence of her alleged suicide in her hostel room on the campus.
The student of College of Arts and Craft, a constituent college of the university, was staying at the Tilak Hostel, according to the police.
She hanged herself from a ceiling fan on Wednesday evening leaving her cellphone camera.
According to them, the deceased had some dispute with a person who lives in Varanasi and probably it was out of frustration she took this step.
The room was shared by three students and the incident took place when the other two were away.
When the students returned from the market, they found the room locked from inside. With help of hostel staff, the windowpanes were broken to open the door.
Manisha Singh, Additional DCP (Central), in a statement, said the police team rushed to the hostel after getting information.
"They (police) brought down her body and sent it for a post-mortem examination. Her parents and local guardians have been informed about the incident," Singh added.
Lucknow University spokesperson Durgesh Srivastava, in a press statement, said the girl was a resident of Prayagraj and pursuing the fifth semester of Bachelor of Fine Arts course.
"The reason for the extreme step was not clear yet and the police are investigating the case," he added.
