KONNI: Student committed suicide since she could not continue her nursing studies in a college in Bengaluru. Atulya (20), the youngest daughter of Hari-Rajalakshmi couple of Konni Eliyaraikal Ananthu Bhavan, is the one who died.
Atulya had secured nursing admission in 2022 with the help of Bangalore Devamrita Charitable Trust. Recently, Karnataka police had arrested trust officials for loan fraud. Due to this, many children, including Atulya, could not pay the fees and discontinued their studies. However, with the help of his relatives, Atulya paid ten thousand rupees directly to the college and continued her studies. As the college authorities informed her that the fees were still outstanding, Atulya returned home and tried to apply for educational loans, but was unsuccessful. With this, she got worried that her studies would stop forever. The student, found hanging from the bedroom fan at 2 pm on Saturday, was rushed to a private hospital in Kozhencherry by her siblings but died at 9:30 pm. The funeral was held yesterday at the residence. Siblings: Anu and Srilakshmi.
