AHMEDABAD: The phone rang, and the Kahnanis’ world came crashing down. Their daughter Drishti Raj Kahnani, a 25-year-old MBA-PGP student of IIM Ahmedabad, had ended her life at her dorm room on Wednesday afternoon.
The incident sent shockwaves through the IIM-A fraternity as this is probably the first case of suicide by a student on the six-decade-old campus.
The second-year student, who stayed in dorm number 8 on the old IIM-A campus, hailed from Muzaffarpur in Bihar and lived in New Delhi, said Satellite police. “Around 2.30 pm, her friends visited her room. When she did not respond to their knocks and shouts, they broke the door and found her hanging from the ceiling fan,” said inspector J B Agrawat.
