Refused permission by her parents to attend a birthday party, a second-year PU student hanged herself in South Bengaluru's Kempegowda Nagar near Chamarajpet on Thursday.
Arpitha was a student at a private college in the city and wanted to attend the birthday party of her classmate on March 15. However, her parents refused permission and had instead asked her to prepare for the upcoming examinations.
Around 2 pm, Arpitha went to her room on the top floor of their house. Her mother, a tuition teacher, went up to Arpitha's room and called out for her.
When there was no response, she peeped through the window and was stunned to see her daughter hanging from the ceiling fan with a dupatta.
The jurisdictional Kempegowda Nagar police have registered a case of unnatural death and are probing the incident.
