Hours after a 21-year-old college student jumped from the Sant Tukaram Nagar Metro Station in Pimpri-Chinchwad in a suspected suicide attempt, he succumbed to his injuries while being treated at the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Hospital (YCMH), officials said on Wednesday.
The student has been identified as Sujal Mankar. He hailed from Khed in Pune district and was pursuing a Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) at the Dr DY Patil College in Pimpri, they added.
