Police have filed a case and launched an investigation into the incident. This is the latest case of student suicide after a number of such incidents have been reported in recent weeks. On Tuesday, a Class 10 student at a school in Delhi died by suicide after jumping from an elevated metro station.

Earlier this month, police arrested Dr. Muzammil Shakeel Ganaie and Dr. Shaheen Sayeed — employed at Faridabad-based Al-Falah University — and recovered thousands of kilograms of explosives-making material from the city near Delhi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that global developmental parameters must be given a second thought, especially since the African continent is hosting the G20 for the first time.
