A 20-year-old college student from Bengaluru was found dead after allegedly jumping into Sankey Tank in Sadashivanagar area following an altercation with her boyfriend.

The deceased has been identified as a second-year B.Com student from Chikkabanavara. She allegedly left her residence on Sunday evening after an argument.
