Candles were lit and a minute's silence observed at MOP Vaishnav College for Women in Nungambakkam for Aakriti Dhingra, who died in a car accident on East Coast Road on Sunday.
"She was a familiar face on campus and a lively person, though I didn't know her personally. It's so sad that this happened to her," said a student from another department. "She was a fun-loving girl and was a hard-working student," said a classmate of Aakriti.
The college held a prayer service for the speedy recovery of the six other students who were injured in the accident. Those who knew about the accident gave others the details in hushed voices.
College principal K Nirmala Prasad made the announcement of the student's death later in the morning and asked the college faculty and students to observe a minute's silence for Aakriti.
Members of the faculty and students remained tight lipped about what happened before the accident. Some said that the students in the car did not attend a party and were not under the influence of alcohol.
On Monday, one of the students Shika was discharged from Apollo Hospitals. Doctors said the condition of two other girls admitted to the hospital was "stable and out of danger".
Two girls, Sneha and Utsa, were admitted to Global Hospital. Sneha, who had head injuries, was shifted out of the intensive care unit on Monday evening and Utsa was being readied for discharge on Tuesday. "Sneha is responding well to treatment. She will be discharged in two days," the doctor said.
On Sunday, the girls who were travelling in a car on ECR met with an accident, when their car hit a median and turned turtle.
