While speaking with the reporters, the principal stated that he had no idea why the student took her life. However, he told, “The semester exam has been going on for three days. Today, there was a practical exam. The student’s roommate tried calling her up but she didn’t answer the phone. So Kavya (the warden) went to check on her.”
