A young woman, in a tragic incident, died by suicide after her parents allegedly refused to allow her to participate in a photoshoot as part of a New Year's celebration in Bengaluru, said the police today, Monday, January 1. 

Varshini, a 21-year-old BBA student at a reputable college in Jayanagar, was identified as the deceased, according to IANS.

The girl, who resided in Sudhama Nagar, also enrolled in a photography course recently, prior to her death.

Unable to take her parents' advice and refusing to listen to them, Varshini hanged herself from a ceiling fan.

The Wilson Garden police have taken over the case for further investigation.

According to IANS, further details on the case are awaited.
