Rohtak: A Class 12 student from Sonipat's Patel Nagar died by suicide after allegedly ingesting a poisonous substance at home. According to the family, she was battling a long-standing respiratory ailment and was distressed by her health.
She passed away around 4am on Thursday during treatment at a private hospital.
The girl was found unconscious on Wednesday afternoon by her younger brother, who returned from school and alerted the parents. At the time, the father, Mukesh, a driver at IMT Kharkhoda, and the mother, an employee of Jindal University, were at work. The family rushed her to the hospital, where she was admitted but succumbed the next morning.
Mukesh told police that his daughter often remained upset due to her breathing problems and, in despair, consumed poison at home.
Station house officer (SHO) at Civil Lines police station, Savit Kumar, said a probe is under way. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination at the civil hospital and will be handed over to the family thereafter, the SHO said. Police said the exact cause of death will be confirmed in the autopsy report. Kumar added that initial statements from family members pointed to illness-related distress as the trigger for the child taking the extreme step.
