A 22-year old Indian Institute of Management (IIM) student hanged herself in her hostel room in Bangalore after she found out -- through Facebook -- that her boyfriend had "dumped" her.
Malini Murmu, a first-year MBA student from Jharkhand, had left behind a note on her laptop.
Officers investigating into the case said Malini on Sunday found out that her boyfriend had dumped her on Facebook. Depressed over the issue, she skipped classes that day. When her classmates noticed her absence they went to her room to check on her. After realising that she wasn't responding to their calls they notified the security in the campus. The security guards broke open the door only to discover Malini hanging from her room's ceiling fan.
The officers also found a suicide note on her laptop that said her boyfriend had left her and that she was going to kill herself over it. She had also scribbled, "He ditched me" on a board in her room. The officers said she was living alone.
The officers said her boyfriend was in town and the couple had a spat over some issue which led to him announcing the breakup of their relations on Facebook.
The boyfriend had left a post on Facebook saying, "Feeling super cool today. Dumped my new ex-girlfriend. Happy independence day."
The police said they are now waiting for Malini's parents to reach Bangalore before carrying out an autopsy. Her body meanwhile has been shifted to a mortuary.
