A 26-year-old medical student D Preethi attempted to finish her life on Wednesday, February 22.

Who Was D Preethi?
During the investigation, the victim’s phone was detained in which, and the Whatsapp chats and the accused’s phones suggested ragging. Along with this, the victim’s father Narender said that they had already complained against the senior student of the college and hospital authorities but no action was taken at any cost. Now, the victim’s family has refused to allow the body to be moved from NIMS, Hyderabad for post-mortem and then to their native village for her last rites.
