A first year undergraduate science student of a private college near the Chathiram bus stand here attempted to commit suicide by jumping from the third floor of the college hostel on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old student resorted to this step after he was allegedly tormented by his hostel mates after a mobile phone belonging to one of them went missing. The student who sustained injury on his forehead was admitted to the Government hospital from where he was referred to a private hospital in the city.
