A heartbreaking incident occurred at Chitra Don Basco College in Chitradurga on Friday, where a minor girl pursuing her BSc degree tragically took her own life by jumping from the college terrace. The student was reportedly facing harassment from a boy named Tarun, causing her significant distress. Following the fall, she was rushed to Basaveshwar Hospital by college staff, who also notified her parents. Sadly, she succumbed to her injuries before they could arrive.
In response to this tragedy, the girl’s father, B. Sudhakar, filed an FIR against Tarun at the Chitradurga women’s police station. He stated, “My daughter confided that Tarun was harassing her through WhatsApp messages and insisted on meeting her. She was deeply distressed by his persistent harassment. I assured her that I would address the issue at the college the next day, but she took this extreme step on Friday morning. The police must take strict legal action against him, as his actions drove her to this outcome.”
Ranjith Kumar Bandaru, SP Chitradurga, confirmed that an FIR has been filed and stated, “We are investigating the case, and justice will be delivered.” An investigation is currently underway.
