The undergraduate, it was learnt, took her life after breaking up with her boyfriend, according to the suicide note said to have been found by her neighbours.
The source further disclosed that an empty sachet of Klin detergent was found on the spot where she took her life.
He said people got to know it was suicide from the note she left which the police read out to the crowd that thronged the area.
