Bengaluru: A second-year PU student hanged herself to death in South Bengaluru’s Kempegowda Nagar near Chamarajpet on Thursday after her parents refused to permit her to attend a birthday party.

The deceased has been identified as Arpitha (17) a student at a private college in the city. She wanted to attend her friend’s birthday party on March 15 but her parents refused permission and asked her to study for the upcoming exams. Arpitha was affected so much by this that she went to her room and hanged herself from the ceiling fan at around 2 pm. Her mother went to her room and called out for her but there was no response from Arpitha. Worried mother peeped through the window and was shocked 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.
