A 20-year-old girl, stated to be depressed, allegedly committed suicide died after jumping from the eighth floor of the district centre building in west Delhi's Janakpuri area today.
Kavita was a final year student at Shyama Prasad Mukherji College of the University of Delhi, police said.
The incident took place around 1.15 PM, following which the girl was taken to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital where she was declared brought dead.
No suicide note has been found, DCP (West) Pushpendra Kumar said.
Once the police ascertained the girl's identity, they informed her relatives. Later her body was sent for a postmortem examination and an inquest was initiated, police said.
Kavita was stated to be depressed after she lost her mother and younger sister in the last one and a half years. The police are checking her phone records to check with whom she had communicated before taking the extreme step.
A senior police official said that the Janakpuri district centre was once considered a copycat suicide spot as a large number of suicides took place there mostly between 2005 and 2010, earning it the moniker 'death centre of the capital'.
In 2006, Delhi Police had sought closure of the building after a series of suicides, the official said.
