Indian-origin student in UK dies after being hit by train

London: An Indian-origin medical student at King's College in London died when she was hit by a train soon after a row with a fellow student.

Anita Trivedi's family fears she may have killed herself as a result of bullying at college.

A British Transport Police spokesperson said the death was not being treated as suspicious. An inquest into the death was opened on Wednesday and adjourned.

The 23-year-old student's father, Kailash Trivedi, a general practitioner, said his daughter had seemed happy despite repeating a year after failing a set of examinations.

"She was beautiful, very pretty, she cared for everybody. She was so good, so nice, so polite, so courteous. I miss her so much," he told The Times.

Anita returned home in east London from university last Wednesday morning distressed, having fought with a classmate after a seminar.

She was killed soon after by a train at Denmark Hill station, near the medical school campus.

Students on her course said they had heard that she had got into a fight with another girl during a break between lectures.

Some said a member of staff had come into a class later to ask whether anyone knew what had happened.

Anita was believed to be upset about having to repeat a year but her father and tutors had reassured her that failing a year was relatively common among medical students.

"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her family and friends and we continue to liaise with the coroner's office," a King's College spokesperson said.
