According to the SHO, “Prima facie, it is a suicide incident. However, the fact will be ascertained after the autopsy report comes. We are probing whether there was any behavioural change in the girl in the last few days. We are also checking the CCTV footage of the hostels and also questioning her friends. We will also be investigating whether her performance degraded in college in last few days.”
Police said that the student’s parents, both of whom are school teachers in Pali, have been informed and they will reach Jaipur on Monday.
