Indu Anto: Suicide or Murder?

Indu Anto

MUMBAI, 5 August 1998: Indu Anto (16), an eleventh standard arts student residing in the Sophia College hostel on Peddar Road, jumped to her death from the terrace of the two-storeyed building in the pre-dawn hours of Tuesday morning, the police said. The girl's father alleged that she was being ragged by fellow students. Ms Anto was studying mathematics and logic at the college. She was the only child of her parents who live in Borivli. "We let her stay at the hostel since it would have been inconvenient for her to commute from Borivli to Sophia College everyday," her father, C.L. Anto, said.
