A class X student committed suicide by hanging at her house in Balanagar on Friday after the neighbours accused her parents of practising black magic.
The girl L. Komiya (16) was reportedly upset after her neighbours Sattaiah and his wife Sailaja quarrelled with her parents on Thursday alleging that their son had fallen ill because they were practising black magic.
Depressed over this, the girl took the drastic step. Based on a complaint lodged by the girl’s parents, the police booked a case of abetment to suicide against Sattaiah and Sailaja. Further investigations are on, the police added.
