Hyderabad: A girl studying in Class 10 died after jumping from the fifth floor of her apartment building in Miyapur on Thursday, July 24.
Hansika, 15, who was a resident of Janapriya apartments in Miyapur, had been studying in a private school in Madhava Nagar.
On Saturday, July 19, a student studying in the same class named Shaikh Rizwan (15) had jumped off the fifth floor of the school building and died by suicide.
It was reported that Rizwan and Hansika used to be close friends and exchanged messages on Instagram.
On seeing the messages being shared between the two, their teacher had informed the principal, who summoned his mother to the school on Saturday. While the principal and his mother were discussing the issue, feeling insulted Rizwan jumped off the building and died by suicide.
On Thursday, when Hansika went to write an exam at the school, she was sent back by the school management. She, along with her father Vijay Naik, went to Rizwan’s house.
According to Hansika’s father, Rizwan’s father blamed Hansika for his son’s suicide and had asked her to jump off the school building just like his son and die.
Depressed over not being allowed to write her exam, and deeply hurt by Rizwan’s father’s allegations, Hansika took the extreme measure, as per the complaint filed by Hansika’s father at Miyapur police station.
Her mortal remains were sent for post-mortem at Gandhi Hospital. Miyapur police registered a case and were investigating the case.
