"Yesterday, they said a student committed suicide, so we went to the spot to check and met her kneeling down with a rope on her neck. The rope we saw on her was not tied firmly at the upper part," recounted Noble. "The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department. At the moment, we cannot say it was suicide."
