Two girl students found hanging in Bhongir hostel
Kodi Bhavya and Gade Vaishnavi were class 10 students in the Zilla Parishad High School of Bhongir.
Yadadri-Bhongir: Two girl students were found hanging in a welfare hostel in Bhongir on Sunday morning.
Kodi Bhavya (14) and Gade Vaishnavi (15), both Class 10 students, were found hanging from separate ceiling fans in the same room of the hostel. The other students, who saw the bodies, alerted the hostel staff, who shifted them to the Bhongir area hospital, where doctors declared them brought dead.
They were staying in the SC welfare girls’ hostel pursuing studies at the Government Girls High School at Reddywada in Bhongir. After school on Saturday, the two had gone to the hostel and did not go for the regular tuition classes conducted in the hostel itself.
A suicide letter, purportedly written by the girls, was also found in the hostel room. It is said they asked to be buried in the same spot and requested that nobody else should be blamed for their deaths. According to the police, the two girls belong to Narsampet in Warangal district and their parents were residing at Habsiguda in Hyderabad. They were close friends in class.
Relatives and students unions staged a dharna at Bhongir on later in the day, raising doubts over the deaths. They demanded for verification of the girls’ handwriting in the letter. The police, who have registered a case, are said to be questioning the hostel warden, tutor and an auto-rickshaw driver as well.
