Chennai youth jumps from flyover, hurt

The student of an aided school left home at Alandur around 5.45 pm informing her parents that she was visiting her friends.

Chennai: A 14-year-old class 10 girl student survived a suicide bid after she threw herself from Kathipara flyover — from a height of 30 ft — on Saturday evening.

The student of an aided school left home at Alandur around 5.45 pm informing her parents that she was visiting her friends. She walked along Kathipara flyover in the arm leading towards Guindy from Ekkatuthangal and jumped from there.

She fell on the park development area. "Had she fallen on the service road, she would have been run over by vehicles", a policeman said.

She has been hospitalised for multiple fractures. She told police she was scolded by parents for frequent outings to her friends' homes and for her poor show in maths revision examination.
