Lucknow, Sep 15 - A first-year engineering student committed suicide Sunday by jumping from the fourth floor of her college building here, police said.

Poonam Mishra, was a first-year student of Azad Institute of Engineering and Technology. No suicide note has been recovered, police added.

'The incident took place late Sunday afternoon. Mishra, after attending a couple of classes, went to the fourth floor and jumped from there. We are investigating the matter,' inspector Abhishek Sirohi of Sarojini Nagar police station told IANS.

Students of the collage said that Mishra was a mediocre student and this might be the reason behind the extreme step.

'She was from Jaunpur district and her English was very poor. Because of this, she never used to interact with any of us and was also depressed due to this,' a classmate of Mishra told IANS preferring anonymity.
