Deeply upset over her objectionable video uploaded on a social media platform by her fiancé, a 19-year-old female college student ended her life by setting herself ablaze at her house in Kathiapada village under the Pattamundai rural police station jurisdiction of the Kendrapara district.
After battling for life for almost 55 hours, an undergraduate female student who set herself ablaze after her complaint of prolonged sexual harassment by a teacher was not addressed in a government-run autonomous college in Odisha’s Balasore district, succumbed to burn injuries during late-night hours on Monday.
The deceased has been identified as Vishakha, a resident of Gannaur, Haryana. She was a second year student in the college and was pursuing her Bachelor of Arts, Political Science (Honours).
