Hearing a loud thud, a canteen boy working nearby rushed to the spot and found Pushpanjali lying in a pool of blood. He informed the school authorities at about 4 p.m. and she was rushed to Vasant Vihar’s Holy Angels Hospital. “The student locked herself in the bathroom, cut open the window grille and jumped,” confirmed the school’s principal.
