Mangalore, September 6: 19-old Shloka Shetty, a second-year B Com student of Sri Ramakrishna College, Bunts Hostel Circle apparently attempted to commit suicide on Tuesday afternoon after being “harassed” by the principal.
The girl was rushed to a private hospital in the city after she consumed phenyl at the toilet on the premises of the college.
The Uppala based Shloka who was staying in a PG accommodation in Ballalbagh, was allegedly “harassed” by the principal Naveen Shetty, for attending a talent show programme on August 30 without prior permission.
It is said that principal had also asked her to fetch her parents to college.
When the students of the college came to know the suicide attempt by the girl, they staged a violent protest and threw stones at the college building and smashed the window panes.
One of the classmates of Shloka accused the principal of torturing students by imposing fines unnecessarily for missing classes.
However, the principal said that he did not harass or torture any student for any reason.
Kadri police rushed to the spot.
