An engineering graduate from Kadapa district, B. Sravanthi Reddy, committed suicide by hanging in her private hostel room at Punjagutta on Monday.

In a separate incident, an Inter student, Vinay Kumar, hanged himself in his house at Kalasiguda in Secunderabad, reportedly after his father chided him for not focusing enough on studies. His father Prem Kumar works in R.T.C’s Charminar depot as mechanical engineer. The student was alone in the house.
