BHUVANAGIRI: In a shocking incident, three female students attempted suicide at the SC Welfare Hostel (Girls) in Bhuvanagiri town on Saturday, leaving two dead and one in critical condition.
The deceased girls were identified as Kodi Bhavya and Gade Vaishnavi and another girl who was studying in class 10 was rushed to a hospital where her condition was said to be critical. The welfare hostel was set up in a private building located in the suburbs of the town.
The reasons behind the students' drastic decision were unknown. All the girls were enrolled in Reddywada Girls High School in the town. The girls did not attend the evening tuition after returning from school on Saturday.
When their roommates returned from the tuition classes they found the duo hanging to two fans. In the suicide note purportedly written by the girls, they said that no one believed them in the hostel except the warden Sailaja. “No one believes us. We are fed up and leaving. Please bury us together. We didn’t do anything wrong,” the letter said. Police booked a case and started questioning the hostel warden.
