A girl hung herself from a pipe in the bathroom of an examination centre of Banaras Hindu University (BHU).
Sheetlanjali was a student of BSc-III in Banaras Hindu University. She had gone to the examination centre at Mahila Mahavidyalaya on BHU campus with her father. Before the distribution of examination paper she left the hall for toilet. A peon was also sent with her. But when she did not come out of the toilet for over 15 minutes the peon called the invigorator. When the varsity staff tried to see inside the toilet through ventilator they were shocked to see that Sheetlanjali hanging from a pipe.
According to chief proctor Prof HCS Rathore, Sheetlanjali was suffering from depression and her treatment was also going on at the SSL Hospital of BHU. The MMV principal did not permit this girl to appear in the examination keeping her mental state in mind. But when her father requested the varsity authorities to allow his daughter to appear in the examination, the college had given permission with the condition that her father should be present at the examination centre. The body of girl was handed over to her family after postmortem.
