A girl student of the Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV) allegedly committed suicide in the hostel at Simhadripuram village of Kadapa district on Thursday.

According to the police, the 10th class student and a resident of Diguvapalli village of Lingala mandal, allegedly hanged herself.

The police registered a case, while the authorities had initiated an internal inquiry.

This is the second such suicide of a student in Kadapa district within a week.

A boy allegedly committed suicide in a private school, on the outskirts of Kadapa town a few days ago.
