Bangalore, Sep 21: Upset over her boyfriend's notification on facebook that she was dumped, a 22-year-old student of the Indian Institute of Management-Bangalore has allegedly committed suicide.

Malini Murmu, a first year MBA student from Jharkhand, hanged herself in her hostel room last afternoon after reportedly reading her boyfriend Abhishek's announcement on Facebook about the break-up, police said.

"We are trying to track down Abhishek, who had posted a message on Facebook," DCP (South-East) P S Harsha told PTI.

The police had found a note on Malini's Facebook message board "He ditched me."

Harsha said the note suggested the she was upset over the break-up.

Investigations revealed Abhishek was in Bangalore recently and had a quarrel with Malini.

He subsequently posted a change in his relationship status on Facebook, saying, "Dumped my new ex-girlfriend," possibly leading to the suicide, Harsha said.

Malini joined the IIM-B last June, having worked at Infosys after completing her B Tech, according to the institute sources.
