A 19-year-old pharmacy student, who police allege faked an abduction and rape attempt about two weeks ago, died by suicide on Wednesday, officials in Telangana said. The young woman was found unconscious at her uncle’s residence on the outskirts of Hyderabad, police said. Around 10:45 am, the woman was rushed to a government hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival. Family members told police that it was her second attempt to kill herself in the past 24 hours, according to a police official who did not want to be named. On February 10, the student’s parents called local police on a toll-free number, alleging that miscreants abducted their daughter.
