A 21-year-old Delhi University student committed suicide on Sunday evening by hanging herself. Her extreme step came immediately after her boyfriend allegedly ended their relationship and used “caste-based slurs” against her when she said she wanted to marry him, reported The Indian Express.

The police said the girl had left a three-page suicide note blaming her boyfriend. The North District police station has registered a case under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and IPC sections 306 (abetment of suicide) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
