A second-year student of Kharghar's National Institute of Fashion Technology, Rasika Gavali (21), has shocked people after she committed suicide by jumping off the seventh floor of an eleven-storied Arham Arcade society in Sector 3, Kharghar, India on Saturday.
The girl's friend identified as Kajol Desai (20) reported the incident to the police. The death has been registered as an accidental.
According to TimesofIndia, Gavali, a resident of Ghatkopar, seems to have ended her life over a failed affair with a first-year student of the institute, the police said.
But, the police are yet to find a suicide note.
"The victim had come to stay with her college friends at the rental third floor flat in the building. She used to frequently stay away from home," said inspector Sunil Darekar.
"She had attempted suicide in December 2015 by slitting her wrist with a blade," he added.
Around 7 pm, Gavali went to the refuge area on the seventh floor and jumped off. "One hour before the incident, Gavali had sent a text to her friend, saying 'dreams are as bad as death now', which shows that she was depressed," said Darekar.
