A 20-year-old law student at Amity University’s Lucknow campus died by suicide on Friday, leaving behind a note apologising to her parents.
The student, identified as Akshita Upadhyay, was a second-year BA LLB student from Mathura. According to police, her body was discovered in her hostel room at the university's Malhaur campus.
The incident occurred around 8:20 a.m. when Akshita’s roommate, Alisha Khan, knocked on the door but received no response. Assistant Warden Deepti Mishra, along with a security guard, unlocked the door to find Akshita hanging from the ceiling fan.
A suicide note was recovered from the scene in which Akshita wrote, "Sorry Mom Dad, I am not a good daughter."
DCP East Zone Shashank Singh confirmed the death, stating, "Akshita died by suicide by hanging herself in her room. The body has been sent for post-mortem, and further investigation is underway. The family has been informed."
