Parents accuse faculty of harassment
The invigilator on duty reportedly seized her answer copy and gave her a fresh copy, police said quoting the details provided to them by the SHRC management. "Deepshikha sat there for the next 15 minutes, scribbling something on the blank answer sheet before she walked out of the examination hall and jumped out of the second floor. She was breathing when people on the campus rushed to the site. Deepshikha was being taken to hospital but died on the way," the cops said.
Deepshikha's father SN Kannaujia, an engineer with the irrigation department posted at Mirzapur, who reached the city on Friday, told TOI that his daughter was being harassed by the faculty at the institute. "So much so that one of the faculty members had recently told her publicly that he would ensure that she didn't clear her exams this session," Kannaujia told TOI. Allegations are that the institute management kept the incident a closely guarded secret.
Police said that the allegations of Deepshikha's parents would be probed and action initiated on the basis of the findings thereon. Body of Deepshikha was sent for post-mortem examination. Police said institute has also been asked to keep her last answer sheet secured just in case it is required for the purpose of investigations
