12-year-old boy commits suicide by hanging at home

A 12-year-old student studying at a private school here allegedly committed suicide by hanging at his house here today, police said.

His family has alleged that he ended his life after he was sent back home by school authorities over non-payment of fee, they said.

The boy, a seventh standard student, did not attend the school for the past two days and this afternoon he was found hanging.

A school official said "We have never sent back any students home over fee issue..there is no such thing. We inform the parents over phone if there is any fee is pending."
