This is the dramatic moment security guards save a distressed woman on a window ledge.

The tech student from Malla Reddy Engineering College for Women was rescued as she attempted to jump off the building in Hyderabad, India.

Footage shows her sitting on a windowsill, seemingly contemplating taking her own life.

Moments later, one of the officers carefully walked on the edge and pulled her back inside.

The individual did not sustain any serious physical injuries from the incident.

Local media reported that the exact reasons behind her actions remain unknown.

The incident has sparked discussions on psychological well-being and academic stress within India's educational system.

Recent research reported at the IC3 Conference 2024 revealed a 4 per cent annual increase in student suicides over the past two decades, double the national average.

The study reported a 50 per cent rise in male suicides and a 61 per cent increase in female suicides over the last ten years, with Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, and Madhya Pradesh recording the highest rates.
