PUC student dies by suicide in Manipal after being advised to study
Manipal: A second-year PUC student died by suicide at Balkattu in Hirebettu village, reportedly after being upset over advice to focus on her studies.
The deceased has been identified as Samanvi, daughter of Mallika and a resident of Balkattu. She was studying in the second year at the Udupi Government Women’s Pre-University College.
According to police, on the evening of December 26, Samanvi’s mother advised her to study for the upcoming examinations as she was speaking on the phone instead. Following this, Samanvi is said to have been distressed.

A case has been registered at the Manipal police station, and further investigation is underway.
