Priyanka, a first-year B.Com student at MES College, took her own life after enduring months of mental harassment from Digant, who had promised her a luxurious BMW car in return for investing her gold.

According to Priyanka’s death note, Digant had promised to double her money and give her a BMW, leading Priyanka to give him the gold ornaments from her home without informing her family. However, after taking the gold worth Rs 15 lakh, Digant did not return it to her, nor did he provide the money he had promised.
Priyanka repeatedly asked Digant to return her gold, but he ignored her pleas. This led to growing anxiety and fear in Priyanka, who was terrified that her family would find out she had given away the valuable ornaments. As Digant continued to torment her mentally and spoke ill of her to others, Priyanka sank into depression.

In the note, Priyanka expressed how Digant had caused her immense mental anguish and led her to take such a drastic step.
Digant, who was initially on the run, has now been arrested by the Bengaluru police based on the contents of the death note. He has been charged with mental harassment and theft, as Priyanka’s family accuses him of exploiting her trust for his benefit.
