Three women students from a private medical college in Tamil Nadu’s Villupuram district drowned themselves in a well near their college as part of a suicide pact, police said on Sunday. A note recovered from the spot accused the management of the naturopathy and yoga college of pushing them into taking the extreme step.
Police said the bodies of the deceased – identified as T Monisha, E Saranya and V Priyanka (all 19-year-olds) – were found floating in the well by local residents on Saturday. They had reportedly tied themselves together with a dupatta before jumping into the water.
College correspondent Vasugi Subramanian and his son Sudhakar, also a student, have been detained for questioning.
The suicide note from the three women, who had just returned from the Pongal holidays, alleged that the college administration had been charging exorbitant fees from them. Officials of the institute were also accused of discriminating against some students because they had gained admission through merit, and were therefore exempt from paying substantial sums of money as fees.
