A student at a paramedical college in Karnataka attempted suicide after facing harassment and blackmail by a former acquaintance, according to local police reports.

The incident unfolded on Tuesday when the 20-year-old's ordeal came to light. A 23-year-old, who had been in a prior relationship with the victim, was detained following the incident. Authorities were alerted when the Karnataka Medical College and Research Institute (KMCRI) informed them of the young woman's suicide attempt.

Police revealed that tensions arose after the woman's breakup with the accused, leading him to allegedly use her photographs for blackmail. A complaint filed by the student's parents further accuses the suspect of physical and mental harassment. An FIR has been lodged, and investigations continue as the victim recovers.
