An 11-year-old boy committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling fan at his home in Diguvakolaputtu village of Dumbriguda mandal, located in the Agency area of Visakhapatnam district, on Sunday night after he was denied the Aadhaar card by the authorities concerned.
Kora Balakrishna, a student of Class VI of the Government High School, Kilogudda village in Dumbriguda mandal, was told by the headmasterto get his Aadhaar card done, as all the government schemes, including scholarships, were to be linked to the unique identification number.
The boy ran from pillar-to-post at the offices concerned in Dumbriguda, Araku and Visakhapatnam, but was denied the card as the fingers of his hands were joined.
The depressed Balakrishna took the extreme step on Sunday night, said Sub-Inspector of Dumbriguda.
The police are investigating the case.
