India, Feb. 11 -- A first-year MTech student allegedly died by suicide at Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT) in West Bengal's Nadia district on Monday night.

People familiar with the matter said that the incident took place around 9pm. Some students found the 23-year-old victim lying in a pool of blood and tried to rush her to the hospital. Allegations, however, surfaced that the driver of the ambulance was not there.
