Sri Lanka, June 5 -- Four students from the Kuliyapitiya Technical College have been remanded until June 16, over a first-year female student's attempt to take her own life by jumping into a lake.

The students were presented before the Kuliyapitiya Magistrate's Court yesterday (4).

The incident involved a first-year student pursuing a Diploma in Agricultural Production and Technology at the college.

She had attempted to drown herself, but was rescued by bystanders and promptly admitted to Kuliyapitiya Hospital.

In her statement, the student alleged that she attempted to take her life due to ragging by several senior students at the college.
