Kolkata: A second-year nursing student at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital reportedly attempted to commit suicide after a disagreement with her roommate in the hostel, police said on Sunday.

The RG Kar student is based out of Purulia district in West Bengal, and is currently receiving treatment at the hospital’s trauma care unit following the incident.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the incident occurred late Saturday night after a dispute over switching off the light, according to a senior police officer.

“The student had filed a complaint with the college authorities, but they blamed her, leading to her depression. She was later found in a pool of blood and was rescued by other students. Police are investigating the matter,” the police officer said.
