A 19-year-old BPharma student jumped from the third floor of her college building here due to alleged harassment by fellow students and ragging, police said today.
Sambul Ishaq, a BPharma student at M C Saxena Institute of Engineering and Management, was severely injured after she jumped from the college building yesterday, police said.
She was rushed to KGMU (King George's Medical University) Trauma Centre in a critical condition, they said.
Her father Abu Ishaq has lodged a police complaint and investigations are on, they said.
According to her father, Sambul was being ragged at the college.
Her peers, however, said she was facing problems adjusting to English medium of teaching at the college. She was often ridiculed over it, due to which she was in depression, they said.
College authorities have ruled out ragging or any indecent behaviour with the victim.
