Following Noida student's suicide, police beat up protesting family, blame outsiders

A scuffle in the form of a fist fight occurred between Greater Noida Police officers and relatives of a girl who had taken her own life within the campus premises of a reputed private university complex in Greater Noida.

The video obtained at the spot is of a man, Vikas, a relative of the deceased, being beaten up by the police officers within the university complex.

Greater Noida Police released a statement regarding the controversy stating, "Some outsiders entered the campus during the operation with the intention of taking the affair to a higher level. Police identified and spread them away, and legal action is being pursued further. Peace has been restored at the location."

A second-year BDS student, Jyoti Sharma of Gurugram, took her own life during the early hours of Friday morning in her hostel room in a private Greater Noida university. A suicide note, which was allegedly written by Sharma, blames two professors and the administration of the university for mental harassment.

In her suicide note in Jyoti's room, she confirmed that she had been mentally tortured and embarrassed for years, hence was suffering. Jyoti had wanted prosecution of the accused.

"I want them to go behind the bars. They mentally harassed me. They humiliated me. I have been in this stress for a long time. I want them to feel the same thing," Jyoti stated in her suicide note.

Following the occurrence, students rebelled against the university's administration for negligence. According to them, Jyoti was under stress as she was charged with forgery of signatures.

The police arrested two university employees in connection with the fatality.
