Shillong, Sept 24: In a tragic incident, a 10-year-old girl from Meghalaya’s East Khasi Hills district reportedly died by suicide after her parents refused to give her a mobile phone. The incident occurred on Sunday night in Thangshalai village, located near Mawryngkneng.
According to local authorities, the young girl had requested her parents for their mobile phone, but they denied the request, asking her to focus on her studies instead. The refusal reportedly led to a disagreement between the girl and her parents.
Frustrated by the situation, the girl left the room. A short while later, she was found unresponsive in another part of the house. Despite efforts by her family to revive her, she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The local police were immediately notified and arrived at the home to investigate the matter.
