Andhra college student walks out of classroom in session, dies after jumping off 3rd floor

A first-year student at a college in Andhra Pradesh died by suicide after jumping from the third floor of the building.

The shocking incident was captured on a surveillance camera.

The Narayana college student walked out of the classroom at 10:15 a.m., stood on the ledge, and jumped off the third floor.

He also took off his slippers before jumping. A video from the classroom shows the boy leaving the room while the class was in session.

The video also shows his classmates walking out of the room shortly after they realised he had jumped.

Anantapur Rural sub-divisional police officer T Vekateshulu said the 16-year-old had just returned to college from Sankranti holidays on Thursday morning and died by suicide at 11:55 am. "After the holidays, this boy came to the college around 9:30 am on Thursday. While the class was going on, around 11:55 am, he suddenly came out from the classroom and jumped from the third floor," Venkateshulu told PTI.

Immediately, the college management shifted the injured boy to a local hospital where doctors examined him and declared that he was dead. Police said the intermediate student hailed from Ramapuram village of Batthenapalli mandal in Sri Sathyasai District.

The suicide of the boy pursuing intermediate first year at Narayana Junior College was captured on CCTV cameras. The recording shows him rising from his bench and straightaway proceeding to jump from the third floor unperturbed, police said.

Meanwhile, police are taking a complaint from the boy's parents to register a case and investigate further.
