Kundapur: Dalit girl studying in SSLC ends life at home in Padukone

Kundapur, In a heart-wrenching incident, a 16-year-old Dalit girl, Sindhu, studying in the SSLC program and residing at a hostel, has taken her own life at her residence in Padukone.

Sindhu was the daughter of Prashant and Sunanda, a couple employed as civic workers in the Kundapur municipality. The unfortunate incident has left the community in shock.

Currently enrolled in an SSLC course at a nearby government school, Sindhu was also a resident of the girls’ hostel in Vaderahobali. Suffering from an illness, she had returned home a couple of days ago for recovery.

The community is left mourning the loss of a promising young life, prompting a collective call for greater awareness about mental health and timely interventions to prevent such heartbreaking events.
