Era reported that in the question paper, a girl named Melissa was said to have failed her landing while paragliding.
Netizens are criticising those who left comments on the woman's profile for being rude and bordering on cyberbullying
"Even if you're joking there should be boundaries, please. This is harassment. If you want the society to mature, cut it out with these childish acts," said one netizen.
Another person wrote, "These kids are so rude. She doesn't even know all of you and you have no right to flood her comments with out-of-context remarks. She must be feeling so uncomfortable."
Meanwhile, one person left a comment on the woman's account that read, "Batch '02, you should be embarrassed and I'm sorry to say this but you guys are immature. To be honest, this is cyberbullying."
