The incident has raised serious concerns as it comes only days after another student at the same university reportedly died after jumping from the fourth floor of a building. Students and university officials said these back-to-back incidents have created fear and anxiety across the campus.
Psychologists and mental health experts have pointed out that rising academic pressure, mental stress, and personal issues among young people often contribute to such incidents. They stressed the need for parents and educational institutions to pay close attention to students’ mental well-being and provide timely counseling and support.
Police and university administration have urged students and the public to remain vigilant and supportive. They appealed to classmates and faculty members to report any unusual behavior or visible signs of mental distress so that timely help can be provided.
