20-year-old Raksha had resorted to take the extreme step in her college hostel room in Jammu after two boys allegedly posted obscene comments on her Facebook page, according to reports.
In a suicide note left behind, the girl named two youngsters as responsible for her death, but they are still at large.
Such cases have been on the rise for the past few years, with internet and network sites easily accessible for people across the globe.
Cybercrimes are as vicious as physical and mental harassments and it is high time for the authorities to find an effective way to put an end to the menace that looms large over every household with a woman in it.
Raksha was found hanging from the ceiling fan in her room on Tuesday night. It may be remembered that her parents were killed by militants in Jammu and Kashmir, and was sent to study by an orphanage in Jammu. She was pursuing a computer course at Mehar Chand Polytechnic for two years.
According to an agency report, police station chief Balbir Singh said they had recovered a hand-written suicide note from Raksha's room in which she blamed two boys -- Lovepreeet and Deepak Saini -- for her death.
She wrote in the note that these two youths had posted obscene comments on her Facebook page and due to this, she was unable to go to college or face anyone. She said both the youths should be punished for their actions.
However, the youths said they had nothing to do with the obscene comments. One of them said the woman too used to write obscene comments.
Raksha's parents were shot dead by militants in Doda in Jammu and Kashmir in 1997. She was living with her siblings in an orphanage in Jammu before coming to Jalandhar to study.
