Indore college student dies by suicide, blames father, grandmother in note
A 20-year-old student was found dead in her rented room in Indore, and police said a wall message was recovered. The note's allegations against her father and grandmother are being examined as investigators record statements and verify the circumstances.
A 20-year-old college student was found dead after allegedly dying by suicide at her rented accommodation in Indore's Nehru Nagar area on Saturday. Police said a handwritten message was found on the wall of her room, in which she reportedly blamed her father and grandmother for her decision.
The deceased has been identified as Vaishnavi Banawade, a resident of Biaora in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district. She was pursuing a second-year Computer Science degree at a private college in Indore and was also enrolled in a Visual Effects (VFX) course.
According to police, Vaishnavi had been living in a rented room in the MIG police station area. Preliminary investigation suggests that she had been in a relationship with a young man for nearly a year.
On the day of the incident, the young man allegedly tried to contact her several times over the phone. After receiving no response, he reached her rented accommodation. Finding the room locked from inside, he sought the landlord's assistance to open the door. When they entered the room, Vaishnavi was found hanging, police said.
Investigators said a message written in English with white chalk was found on the wall of the room. According to police, the note stated that she had taken the step of her own will. It also expressed affection for her mother, brother and boyfriend, while reportedly holding her father and grandmother responsible for her decision.
MIG police reached the spot after being informed and sent the body for post-mortem examination. A case has been registered, and further investigation is underway.
MIG Police Station House Officer C.B. Singh said police are examining all aspects of the case, including the contents of the message found at the scene. Officials said the allegations mentioned in the note are part of the ongoing investigation and are yet to be independently verified.
Police said statements of family members and other persons connected to the case will be recorded as part of the probe. Authorities are also examining other evidence to establish the circumstances leading to the student's death.
