A tragic incident has shaken the Raidih area of Gumla district in Jharkhand, where an 18-year-old Class XI student died by suicide on Tuesday. The young woman, identified as Ayesha Kumari, was a student of the SS+ 2 School in Raidih.
Details of the Tragic Incident
Ayesha Kumari did not attend school on Tuesday, the day of the incident. She reportedly informed her classmates that she intended to visit a park in Gumla. However, instead of going out, she remained alone in her rented accommodation located in Raidih.
It was in this room that she took her own life. The teenager lived in the house with two of her classmates, sharing the space for the past six months, according to her mother, Raatrani Devi.
Police Investigation and Family's Anguish
Officer in-charge of the Raidih police station, Sandeep Kumar, confirmed the details on Wednesday. He stated that Ayesha's roommates were not present at home when the unfortunate event occurred.
The police are probing all angles to understand the circumstances that led to this extreme step. Following the completion of the autopsy procedure on Wednesday, Ayesha's body was handed over to her grieving family.
A Community in Mourning
This incident has cast a pall of sorrow over the local community and the school. It highlights the immense pressures and unseen struggles that young students can sometimes face. The loss of a young life at the threshold of adulthood is a profound tragedy for the family and all who knew her.
While the investigation continues, the focus also turns to the broader issues of student mental health and the well-being of young people living away from home for their education. The police have urged anyone with information to come forward as they work to piece together the final hours of Ayesha Kumari's life.
