14-year-old commits suicide after beating from mother

The class IX student got into a quarrel with his sister yesterday evening as the family was about to visit a temple, which irked his mother and she beat him, they said.

Angered by the beating, the boy locked himself in a room and hung himself from the ceiling fan, they said.

In another incident, a 28-year-old woman committed suicide by hanging herself due to alleged harassment by her in-laws.

Police said the family members of the deceased claimed that her husband was an alcoholic who used to regularly harass her and she also faced harassment from her in-laws over dowry.

 

The girl's family was yet to file a complaint in the matter, they said.
