At a private law college in Tenkasi, Tamil Nadu, a protest started after it was brought to the attention of students that a girl student attempted to end her life on Thursday, February 22, stated a report in The New Indian Express. 

Sources also shared that the college administration asked the girl student to go on leave after a dispute with her. 

"The girl was rescued and admitted to a Puliyangudi-based private hospital where she is now out of danger. A portion of the students from the college staged a sit-in protest in front of the law college for about eight hours. The Vasudevanallur police and the college administration conducted a talk with the students," the source informed The New Indian Express.
