Student Of Thapar University Commits Suicide By Jumping Into Canal A 22-year-old female student of Thapar University, Patiala committed suicide by jumping into the Bhakra canal on Monday. The deceased Sumeet Kaur was pursuing a bachelors degree in computer science engineering (final year). The body was fished out from the canal near the Patiala-Nabha highway, said Investigating officer (IO) Rajesh Kumar. Police retrieved the woman’s college identity card from her pocket. Police scanned the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage that shows the victim leaving campus at around 6am. “Preliminary investigation suggests that she might have consumed some poisonous substance before jumping into the canal,” the IO said. "She was yet to submit the final project report before graduation. We will look into her academic records to determine if she was stressed,” said Dean (student welfare wing) Maneek Kumar. -PTC News
