"Depressed" dental student leaps to death in Hyderabad

Hyderabad, May 26 (PTI): A 25-year-old woman dental student allegedly committed suicide by jumping off a residential complex on Tuesday apparently depressed for not getting an MBBS seat, police said. The fourth year BDS student at a dental college here leapt from the 14th floor of the complex and she died on the spot, the police said based on a complaint filed by her father.

According to the complainant,his daughter was not interested in the BDS course and wanted to study MBBS, but did not secure a seat. On Monday, the student told her parents about her interests and was depressed. That drove her to the extreme step, the police said.
