A class 11 girl student on Thursday committed suicide by hanging herself after she was allegedly stalked and harassed by three men.

"The girl complained about harassment in phase- 3 police station where an FIR was registered under Section 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty). We have recovered a suicide note from the bag of the deceased in which she has mentioned about being harassed," Dinesh Yadav, ACP city told ANI here.

The family members of the deceased girl however alleged that the police didn't act on their complaint earlier, when the girl had written a suicide note a few days stating that she was very disturbed.

"We went to police late at night but they didn't initiate any action against the accused," brother of victim said.
