This is Sad.
Hounded by "overzealous" cops and photojournalists, a college girl committed suicide in Jalandhar after being spotted with a boy in a car.
Shivali (20), a student of SD College, ended her life by jumping in front of a train near the Domoria flyover.
Earlier, a crowd gathered in the old Jawahar Nagar bazaar near the women's college following a collision between two cars. A police team led by inspector Balwinder Kaur reached the spot and tried to resolve the matter.
The police told Shivali, who was in one of the cars, to come out. No sooner did she leave the car that the photojournalists, who were accompanying the police, started clicking her pictures. Shivali, a local resident, threatened to end her life if the lensmen didn't stop, but her pleadings fell on deaf ears.
While Gaurav, friend of Shivali, was paying for the damage to the other driver, Shivali tried to escape the scene but was called again by the same inspector.
The police not only grilled her but also made her sign a letter of apology before letting her go with a warning. Unable to bear this public humiliation, Shivali took the extreme step.
An eyewitness said he subsequently took the girl to his shop and offered her water. "Before she left, I advised her not to get panicky. About 30 minutes later, we got the news of her suicide," he added.
However, Police claim that she slipped while she was crossing the railway line and they even have an eyewitness as a proof.
