Teenager Jumps To Death From Hill In Maharashtra After Mother Refuses To Buy Phone For Him
Last Updated: Such instances have been reported lately in Maharashtra, where teenagers have died by suicide after the parents denied their request to buy a phone. A teenage boy jumped off a hill to death in Maharashtra's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar after his mother denied his request to get him a new mobile phone on Sunday, officials said. The 16-year-old boy was identified as Atharva Gopal Tayde, who had previously asked his mother to buy him a phone and was persistent in his request. However, she turned down his request. Atharva was a native of Jalgaon Jamod in Buldhana district. He was currently living in Swatik City, Sajapur Shivar, Waluj, and was an aspirant for the police recruitment exam, officials said. As the boy asked his mother to buy the phone on Sunday, only to be refused by her, he reportedly went to Khawda hill in Tisgaon and jumped off. He was rushed to the hospital by the local residents; however, the doctors declared him dead after arrival. A similar incident was reported in Maharashtra last year when a 15-year-old boy died by suicide after his mother allegedly refused to get him a mobile phone on his birthday. Officials said the boy, Vishwajeet Ramesh Chamdanwale, died at home while his mother and sister were asleep. In another case from July last year, an 18-year-old boy in Navi Mumbai died by suicide after his father didn't buy him an expensive iPhone. The boy had asked for a phone worth around Rs 1.5 lakh, but his father got him a more affordable Vivo phone instead. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

The boy, identified as Atharva Gopal Tayde, was asking his mother to buy him a phone for days. However, she refused every time. Atharva was preparing for the police recruitment examination, officials said. On Sunday, Atharva asked his mother again to buy a phone. But when his mother refused, he went to a hill in Tisgaon and jumped. Locals immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead. Maharashtra witnessed a similar incident last year when a 15-year-old boy died by suicide after his mother refused to get him a mobile phone on his birthday. The boy, Vishwajeet Ramesh Chamdanwale, died at his house while his mother and sister were asleep, officials said. In July last year, an 18-year-old boy died by suicide in Navi Mumbai after his father did not buy him an expensive iPhone. According to his father, the boy wanted an iPhone costing about Rs 1.5 lakh.
