DIGBOI: In what can be described as a post -HSSLC result tragedy that occurred in the remote Kathalguri agrarian area under Bordumsa Police Station in Tinsukia district, a female student of Digboi Women’s College resorted to the extreme step following her inability to secure good marks in the HSSLC exam after the result was declared recently.

According to sources, Luna Dohotiya (18), the daughter of Maniram Dohotiya, had reportedly been perturbed even before the result and allegedly committed suicide after she passed in the third division. “She drank a killer pesticide meant for the tea garden and ended her life,” said a neighbour.

Meanwhile, the Bordumsa police immediately took the corpse into the legal fold and helped carrying out the post-mortem. Various student bodies, including the AJYCP and Gorkha body, expressed deep regret at the loss of the life of a student at such an early stage. Her last rites were performed on Sunday.
