Student suicide death report is a rumour, say Chittoor police

Deputy Superintendent of Police J. Venkata Narayana on Friday (November 13, 2026) refuted reports claiming the death of a student by suicide at a private engineering college in the district, and termed them completely false.

Dismissing the reports as rumours, he said no such suicide death had taken place in the district and urged the public not to believe or circulate unverified information on social media. He asked the public to rely only on official police statements.

The clarification comes amid reports and speculation surrounding an alleged student suicide incident at the college over the tuition fee issue.
