The Story in Brief
A 19-year-old Delhi University student died after jumping from an upper floor of the Mall of Rajouri near Rajouri Garden metro station on Saturday. Police said she was a third-year BA student at Aryabhatta College and had been suffering from depression since her mother died in 2021. A head constable on patrol found her body and alerted the station.
Police recovered a handwritten suicide note in which the woman said she was ending her life of her own accord. No evidence of foul play was found at the scene. Proceedings under Section 194 of BNSS have been initiated.
The Indian Opinion
Some social media posts are turning this tragedy into a debate about coaching pressure or hostel life, but the police note clearly states depression after a family loss. Others blame the mall's security, yet the note says the act was voluntary. The real test is whether the Rajouri Garden police file a closure report based on the suicide note alone, or also investigate if the student had sought counselling.
