In a tragic incident in Faridabad, an 11-year-old boy died by suicide after being reprimanded by his mother for taking money, prompting a police investigation into the circumstances.
An 11-year-old boy hanged himself in his house here allegedly after his mother reprimanded him for taking Rs 100 without informing anyone, police said on Sunday.
His mother allegedly told him that she will tell his father about it. The child, terrified by this, went to the terrace of the house in Chhainsa village and died by suicide by hanging himself, they said.
Later, when the mother searched the house, he was nowhere to be seen. She found her son in the terrace hanging from a rope. She raised an alarm and some neighbours gathered who rushed the boy to a nearby hospital.
Doctors declared the child dead after examination, saying the child was hanging for around 15 to 20 minutes, leading to his death.
"We handed over the body to kin after the postmortem. The deceased was the youngest of four siblings... A further probe is underway," a senior police officer said.
