A 15-year-old teenager from Vasai, on Saturday, attempted suicide after continuous harassment by a group of bullies from a nearby school, he alleges. Hritik Chugh had been beaten by a group of boys often, but refused to reveal anything to his family or teachers. It was when the bullies demanded a bottle of whiskey from him last Wednesday, and threatened him with more thrashing, that he decided to end his life.
