Bengaluru college student ends life after alleged harassment by former classmate
Bengaluru: A 19-year-old second-year student from Koshys Group of Institutions, allegedly died by suicide at her residence in Kadusonnappanahalli, Bagalur. According to police, the victim was identified as Sana Parvin, who was stalked, harassed and threatened by a former collegemate.
Sana was found hanging by her two classmates in the rented accommodation they shared, on Friday. Parvin’s father, Abdul Nazeer, a civil contractor from Kodagu district, lodged a complaint against the accused, a former collegemate from Thrissur, Kerala, accusing him of persistent harassment that allegedly led to her death.
“According to my daughter’s classmates, the accused had been stalking, harassing, and even assaulting her for some time. Though she mentioned his behaviour to us, she never revealed how bad it had become,” Nazeer stated in his complaint.
He further alleged that when the matter was reported to the college authorities, the accused was warned but continued to trouble and threaten his daughter. “His continued harassment drove her to take the extreme step,” the complaint read.
While the accused was charged with abetment of suicide, harassment and criminal intimidation, a senior officer from Begur Police Station informed, “We are verifying all details and statements. Further investigation is in progress.”

NEET student hangs self in Rajasthan's Sikar
Jaipur (PTI): A student preparing for the NEET examination allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in a rented room in Rajasthan's Sikar on Friday, police said.
According to the police, the student allegedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan using his sister's scarf while one sister was attending coaching classes and the other was in the bathroom.
He had appeared in the NEET UG exam 2026, which was cancelled due to paper leak, they said.
Udyog Nagar SHO Rajesh Kumar said that the deceased, identified as Pradeep Meghwal, was a resident of Kanika ki Dhani village in Jhunjhunu's Gudha Gaudji area.
He had been living in a rented room in Sikar's Jaldhari Nagar area with his two sisters while preparing for NEET over the last three years.
His elder sister later found him hanging and informed the landlord and police after bringing him down, officials said.
The SHO said the body was kept at SK Hospital mortuary, and a postmortem had not been conducted.
The student's father, Rajesh Kumar Meghwal, told police that Pradeep's NEET examination had gone well and the family was expecting him to score around 650 marks.
Former Rajasthan deputy chief minister Sachin Pilot expressed grief over the incident and linked it to anxiety among students after reports of irregularities and paper leaks in NEET 2026.
Pilot said repeated paper leak incidents and cancellation of examinations were affecting students' mental health and demanded a time-bound investigation and strict action against those responsible.
