However, the father of the deceased alleged that their daughter was forced to take the extreme step as she was harassed.
“My daughter was staying in the mess for last one month. She had visited us last Saturday. She was forced to kill herself because of mental harassment,” he said.
Meanwhile, the owner of the mess Kanchanabala Mohanty feigned ignorance about the cause of the death.
“We had no knowledge about the cause of her death. We were on the ground floor when other girls told us about the incident and subsequently we informed the police,” said Mohanty.
