Class 10 girl dies by suicide in Sector 14

Gurgaon: A tragic incident unfolded in Sector 14 on Wednesday evening, where a 15-year-old girl, a Class 10 student, allegedly died by suicide at her home. Police said the girl had been struggling with mental health issues and was under regular medical treatment for anxiety.

According to officials, the girl returned home from school in the afternoon and was alone when she allegedly hanged herself from the ceiling fan around 4 PM. Her parents, who were away on duty at the time, rushed home after being informed.

"The family told us she was under consistent medical supervision and was taking prescribed medication," a police officer said. Despite ongoing treatment efforts, the tragedy occurred in their absence.

Sector 14 police reached the scene shortly after being alerted, took possession of the body, and sent it for post-mortem examination. An initial investigation has been launched, though the exact reason behind the suicide remains unclear. No suicide note was recovered from the spot.

Authorities are questioning the girl's family members, friends, and classmates to better understand the circumstances that may have led to the incident. "No conclusive motive has emerged so far. However, we are exploring all possible angles to identify what may have triggered her distress," a police official said.

This incident adds to a growing list of recent suicides linked to mental health struggles in the region. On June 26, a 29-year-old MNC employee was found dead at her rented flat in DLF Phase 3. Police said she was undergoing psychiatric treatment. A day later, a 25-year-old woman working in a private firm died by suicide at her paying guest accommodation.

In another case, a Class X student was found hanging at her home in Faridabad. Her parents alleged that the school principal and a maths teacher had been harassing her over poor academic performance. Police have since registered a case against the principal.
