A 17-year-old girl allegedly died by suicide at her residence in Maharashtra's Thane district, reportedly being distressed over scoring lower-than-expected marks in the Class 12 Maharashtra board examinations, news agency PTI reported, quoting the police on Monday.
The incident occurred on Sunday, May 3, at her home in Bhiwandi city, an officer from Narpoli police station said.
According to initial investigation, the girl was unhappy with her marks after the results of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations were declared on May 2.
An accidental death report (ADR) has been registered at Narpoli police station, and further investigation is underway, PTI reported.
Last week, a 19-year-old student from Kerala, who was studying at a private nursing college, allegedly died by suicide in his hostel room, police said.
The victim was a second-year student at a nursing college in Bommasandra, they added.
On April 29, he was found dead in his hostel room, police said, adding that he left behind a suicide note stating that no one was responsible for his death. Preliminary investigation suggested that he may have been suffering from depression, and there may have been other issues which are being probed, a senior police officer said.
According to police, in his complaint, the victim's father claimed that a college representative informed him upon his arrival in Bengaluru that his son had died under suspicious circumstances and that it was a case of suicide in the college hostel.
"However, I firmly believe that my son would not have taken such a step. He was of good character and mentally strong. Therefore, I strongly suspect foul play in his death," he claimed.
He also highlighted an incident that occurred approximately 20 days ago, when his son informed him that some of his hostel roommates were involved in drug use and were caught by hostel authorities.
"They were warned, along with my son, although he was innocent and not involved in the incident. This situation may be relevant to the present case," he stated.
The complainant has urged the police to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter and take appropriate legal action.
A case of unnatural death has been registered at Hebbagudi Police Station. Further investigation is underway, and all allegations are being examined, police said.
