Lipi, who was pursuing an LLB course in Sonipat, Haryana, was reportedly anxious about her academic performance. The young law student took the drastic step around 4 am, with officials stating that she was declared dead upon arrival at GT Hospital.
A suicide note recovered at the scene indicated that no one should be blamed for her death. The police have registered a case of unnatural death. Lipi’s father, Vikas Rastogi, serves as the principal secretary in Maharashtra’s Higher and Technical Education Department, while her mother, Radhika Rastogi, is also a senior IAS officer. This incident echoes a similar tragedy from 2017 when the son of Maharashtra cadre IAS officers Milind and Manisha Mhaiskar also committed suicide in Mumbai. (Agencies)
