Meerut: 14-year-old girl kills self-due to harassment; police says different story

A shocking incident was reported from Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut where a 14-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide. The girl who was studying in class 8th consumed poison because she was being harassed by 3 youths constantly.

As per TOI, the girl was cremated on the same day i.e. Monday when she died of suicide, and since then her family maintained that harassment prompted the girl to take such big and drastic step. However, the local police offered a different version to the suicide on Wednesday. They said that the girl was in a relationship with one of the accused and was embarrassed after a few youths saw them meeting behind the school on Saturday morning and this embarrassment took her life.

But, based on a complaint filed by the girl’s parents, Bulandshahr police have booked the 3 youths under Section 304, Section 354 of IPC and POCSO Act. Her father requested police to initiate an inquiry into the matter.
