Another 16-Year-Old Student Dies By Suicide In West Kanti Nagar
A day earlier, on Monday, a 16-year-old student died by suicide in Delhi’s West Kanti Nagar area, which falls under the jurisdiction of Krishna Nagar Police Station.
The girl had travelled from Bihar to Delhi for treatment of an ear-related issue and had been staying with her maternal aunt for around 45 days. Her family resides in Gujarat.
Police said they received a call regarding the incident at around 12:23 pm. When the police reached the location, they found the room locked from the inside.
A Fire Brigade team was called to the spot and broke open the lock. The girl was declared dead at the scene after being examined by the Centralised Accident and Trauma Services (CATS) ambulance team. She was subsequently taken to Dr Hedgewar Hospital, where doctors also declared her dead.
Police said no allegations have been made in the case so far. They recorded the statement of a relative and informed the girl’s parents about the incident.
Both incidents are being examined by the respective police teams, with authorities focusing on establishing the circumstances and facts surrounding the students’ deaths.
