Bengaluru: A 21-year-old girl, who was a BCA (Aviation) student at Acharya Institute in Soladevanahalli, allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the fourth floor of the college building on Friday afternoon.
The reason for the actions of the student, identified as Laxmi Mitra, who is a native of Kerala, is yet to be ascertained as the police officers found no death note on her, Times of India has reported.
The police have said that the incident occurred at around 1:45 pm, with the other students in the college, who saw Laxmi jump from the fourth floor, informing the management immediately. Laxmi, seen lying in a pool of blood, was rushed to hospital but declared dead by the doctors.

Chennai, Mar 23 (PTI): Afghanistan mystery spinner Noor Ahmad made a memorable debut for Chennai Super Kings as his four-wicket haul limited Mumbai Indians to a below-par 155/9 in the Indian Premier League here on Sunday.
Ahmad (4/18) ran through the Mumbai Indians middle-order after Khaleel Ahmed (3/29) removed openers Rohit Sharma (0 off 4) and Ryan Rickelton (13 off 7) in the powerplay.
On a typical Chepauk surface, CSK got the early breakthroughs after putting the opposition in to bat.
Rohit was the first one to depart, flicking straight into the hands of Shivam Dube at mid-wicket off Khaleel.
Playing his first game for Mumbai Indians, Rickelton looked good in his brief cameo which ended when he played on to give Khaleel his second wicket.
R Ashwin, returning to CSK after 10 years, struck in his first over to make it 36 for three as Will Jacks offered a simple catch to Dube at mid-off.
Surykumar Yadav (29 off 26) and the in-form Tilak Varma (31 off 25) forged a 51-run partnership to take the innings forward before the M S Dhoni effected a lightening quick stumping off Ahmad to send back Mumbai Indians stand-in captain.
Dhoni showed he remains as sharp as ever behind the stumps with bails being dislodged even before Suryakumar could complete his bat swing.
Suryakumar led the side in the absence of Hardik Pandya, who could not play due to an over rate ban imposed last season.
What broke the back of Mumbai Indians batting was twin strike from Ahmad in his following over. He trapped Tilak with a googly two balls after getting rid of Robin Minz.
His fourth wicket was Naman Dhir who played around his stumps to be bowled.
Deepak Chahar, switching to Mumbai Indians from CSK, came up with a much needed 28 not out off 15 balls to take the team past 150.
