Class 8 student commits suicide in Lucknow

A 14-year-old girl, studying in Class 8, allegedly committed suicide here on Wednesday night, police said.

"The girl was staying with her parents on the fifth floor at Arif Apartments under the Hussainganj police station limits. There were only three members in the family," said Suresh Chandra Rawat, SP East Lucknow.

"We have recovered the body of the girl. It looks like she committed suicide after jumping from the fifth floor. We have sent the body for post-mortem. We are interrogating her parents and teachers," he added.

The parents of the girl are saying that she committed suicide, police said.
