A second year post-graduate student of GSL Medical College here allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence in Kakinada district of Andhra Pradesh, police said today.
Sri Lakshmi, a meritorious student, who was pursuing Radiology at the GSL College, took the extreme step last evening, they said.
A suicide note recovered from her house said that she was ending here life due to alleged harassment by a professor and a student.
