BANGALORE: An MBA student hanged herself in her hostel room in the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, on Monday evening. Malini Murmu, 22, was a first-year MBA student and a native of Jamshedpur in Jharkhand. Investigation officers said she found out from Facebook on Sunday that her boyfriend had dumped her. Depressed, she did not attend classes. When her classmates noticed her absence, they went to her room, No. 421 in the college hostel, and called out to her. Malini did not open the door so they called the security guard and broke open the door. They found her hanging from the ceiling fan. She had left a suicide note on her laptop, saying her boyfriend had left her and she was killing herself over it. She'd also scribbled 'He ditched me' on a board in her room. She had no roommates, police said. Police said her boyfriend was in town and the couple had had an argument, which resulted in the breakup. Later, her boyfriend had left a post on Facebook saying, "Feeling super cool today. Dumped my new ex-girlfriend. Happy independence day." Malini's body was shifted to a mortuary. Police are waiting for her parents to reach Bangalore before carrying out an autopsy. IIM-B officials refused to comment.

Just a question. How is her being in IIM of any relevance in this issue ?
Ponka thinks that people are shocked that student from IIM would do such a thing. They should be more strong emotionally and see the larger context. Nothing else. and from Media & Police point of view, since the suicide was done at IIM hostel room therefore IIM name had to be dragged in the news.

how is this relevant?
Actually it is. People who get into these institutes based on quota have extra pressure on them, academically, which could have contributed to her fateful decision.

Yes. It is very true. In these institutes students coming through quota systems are under constant pressure and lack of academic performance affects all aspects of life. But however, in this case, till now there is nothing to suggest that sort of. A sad incident.

Speculation. There is nothing in the article which suggests that the reason was the suicide was academic. Hence the ST part in the post was irrelevant.
