CHENNAI: Three female Indian students of SVS Yoga Medical College at Kallakurichi near Villupuram in Indian state of Tamil Nadu committed suicide on Saturday evening.
According to media reports, girls declared the administration responsible for their deaths. The bodies of the students, doing naturopathy courses in the institution, were found in a well near the college.
According to The Indian media, the two students E Saranya and V Priyanka, aged 18 and T Monisha, 19 also left a signed suicide note stating that students had filed several complaints against college chairman Vasuki Subramanian, to no avail.
Citing excess fee and “torture” by the management, the girls hoped that their suicide would finally force authorities to take action against the chairman.
In the suicide note, the girls talked about the administration charging “excess fees”, “around Rs 6 lakh”, and never giving the bill. Despite the money charged from them, the girls said, the college lacked proper classes or teachers and there was “nothing to learn”.
