SHIVAMOGGA: A college student allegedly committed suicide after her mother advised her not to overuse her cellphone. Dhanushree, from Haranahalli near Ayanur, located on the outskirts of Shivamogga city, died, police stated.
The 20-year-old was in her first year of a BA degree course. On Monday, Dhanushree was using her mobile phone while sitting on the veranda after returning from college.
