A 20-year-old college student, identified as Teju, reportedly died by suicide after jumping into Sankey Lake in Sadashivanagar, Bengaluru. Teju, a resident of Peenya, was pursuing her graduation in the Chikkabanavara area. She left her college on Monday afternoon and was seen on CCTV walking around the lake premises before entering the water.
Teju’s family initiated a search when she did not return home that evening. Before her death, she messaged her boyfriend about her decision, leading to intensified search efforts by her family and involvement of the police. Her body was discovered in the lake the next morning, prompting a post-mortem examination and further investigation by the authorities.
Preliminary inquiries revealed that Teju had been emotionally impacted by her parents’ divorce and had expressed missing her father’s affection. The police are also looking into her relationship with her boyfriend, with whom she had a recent disagreement. The boyfriend has been questioned as part of the ongoing investigation.
Despite no suicide note being found, a case has been registered at the Sadashivanagar Police Station as investigations continue into the tragic incident.
