Unsettling visuals are circulating on social media of a woman engaged in a phone conversation before tragically jumping off the building on Friday, 5 January. Later that day, students from Gitam University in Sangareddy realised that this incident had unfolded within the confines of their own institution.
A student at the college captured the video in an attempt to discern the reason behind the girl’s precarious perch on the wall, only to witness her jump to her death a few seconds later.
The police, in a statement, clarified that there was no widespread panic surrounding the incident. The woman was identified as Renu Sree, an 18-year-old first-year Engineering student at Gitam University.
She had chosen to end her life by jumping from the fifth floor of the institution located in Rudraram, Sangareddy, on a somber Friday afternoon.
According to the reports, she succumbed to her injuries on the spot, having suffered multiple traumas. Renu Shree reportedly joined the university three months ago in the Computer Science Engineering branch.
Her parents live in Madhapur, Hyderabad, and rushed to the hospital upon learning of their daughter’s tragic fate.
Her body has been shifted to Area Hospital in Patancheru for a postmortem examination.
South First has reached out to both Patancheru Police and the university management for their comments. The copy will be updated following a response.
