B.Ed student hangs herself in Agra

A woman B.Ed student at a deemed university here Saturday committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan, police said.

Kavita Sharma, a student of Dayalbagh deemed university who lived in a rented room with her brother in Balkeshwar Kunj area, returned from her village after the Holi festival early Saturday.
