Jagtial: A 25-year-old woman, Nallamothu Harshitha, died by suicide after her plans to pursue higher studies in the United States fell through.

Police said Harshitha, a resident of Hasnabad in Jagtial urban mandal, had completed her graduation and aspired to study in the US. She applied for admission after consulting acquaintances but was denied a visa as she had applied to an ineligible university. She reportedly lost about Rs.10 lakh in visa processing and related expenses.

Police registered a case based on a complaint from her father and have begun an investigation.
