Bangalore: Students of M S Ramaiah Medical College were aghast to find a fellow student hanging from the ceiling fan at their hostel at around 8 pm last night.

Durgi Shekawat, a second year MBBS student, allegedly committed suicide after she was suspended earlier in the day by the college authorities for cheating during an exam.

A final year student from the college, said, "We don't know what happened when she met the principal, she didn't tell us about the discussion. Nobody from the management has even bothered to show up here, so we just don't know why."

Another student, said, "The management has not bothered to come and visit the hostel even though a student is dead."

Meanwhile, a senior official from Sanjay Nagar police station, said, "We think she committed suicide between 7.30 pm to 8.30 pm last night. But we are still uncertain about the reason behind her action."
