In a tragic and heart-wrenching incident in Karnataka, a 20-year-old final-year nursing student, Priyanka, reportedly took her own life at her residence in Hosahampapura village of Kollegal taluk. Struggling with severe stomach pain for several days, Priyanka was reportedly unable to cope with her suffering, despite ongoing medical treatment.
