A 15-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself to a ceiling fan at her residence in outer Delhi's Sultanpuri area, with the police saying Saturday that she killed herself as she was being constantly "harassed" by a man on way to her school and tuition classes.

In his complaint, the girl's father has alleged that his daughter was being "mentally harassed" by a local man who was apparently married.
