Earlier, on August 7, an 18-year-old girl named Arti died by suicide at her residence in Jogipet, Medak district, just days before her admission into an engineering college. Arti, who had recently completed her intermediate education, was preparing to join the college on August 12. According to Jogipet police, her parents stated that there were no apparent issues with her admission. An investigation into the case is ongoing.  

These incidents shed light on the mounting stress and mental health struggles faced by students in academic settings.
