After Chandigarh University, protests erupt in LPU over student's suicide

Jalandhar : A protest broke out on the Lovely Professional University campus near here on Tuesday night after a student allegedly died by suicide in the hostel.

Agun was a resident of Kerala. A suicide note was found that mentioned personal reasons behind the extreme step.

The protesting students alleged that it was the second suicide reported on the campus in 10 days, but the administration was tightlipped on the issue.

However, the police and civil administration denied the allegation by the students.

The students alleged that they were protesting as they wanted to know the reasons behind the two suicide cases.

They alleged that the last suicide had gone unreported as the matter was hushed up.

The police reached the spot and tried to pacify the students.
