In a shocking incident, an engineering student form the southern Indian state of Kerala had allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself in the college hostel bathroom.

According to reports, the 18-year-old computer science student Jishnu committed the suicide at the college hostel in Kerala's Thrissur district.

The police have registered a case of unnatural death but his friends have alleged that he was harassed by college authorities on being caught cheating, NDTV reports.
One of the friends of the deceased told NDTV:
"The invigilator claimed that Jishnu was copying from another student but he kept saying he is innocent. College authorities threatened to debar him from writing any exams for three years and made him cross out his entire answer sheet."
The hashtag #JusticeForJishnu trended on the social media asking the authorities to take action in the case.
