A 23-year-old MBA student dies after jumping from the sixth floor of Poornima University in Jaipur on Saturday morning, reports say. The death is reported to occur shortly after the fall, and the student is taken to Mahatma Gandhi Hospital where she is declared dead. Her body is kept in the hospital’s mortuary, and police begin an investigation into the circumstances.
Accounts across outlets describe the incident as taking place around 10 a.m. on campus, with reports citing that she leaves her classroom and goes upstairs before the fall. Some coverage mentions that students allegedly tried to intervene after noticing her near the rooftop edge, and that CCTV footage at the campus is referenced. One report also says she was speaking with friends shortly before the incident.
After the death, the university sends students home and suspends academic activity. The mid-semester examination scheduled for Saturday is reported as postponed, and other outlets also report classes are suspended. While all outlets describe the event as an apparent fall and note police investigation, details on motive and cause are not confirmed.
