A second year medical student of Madras Medical College, Savjenia, committed suicide unable to concentrate on her studies. Her father Parthiban owns a medical shop. Police said that though Savjenia was not interested in medicine, she did so due to pressure from her parents. 

On Sunday night, she fought with her parents and locked herself and did not return. On suspicion, her parents went to check and to their shock, she was found hanging from the ceiling.
