A 17-year-old college drop-out allegedly committed suicide at her residence at Nagawarapalya coming under Byappanahalli police station limits on Wednesday evening.
The deceased has been identified as Pallavi, daughter of Srinivas, a DRDO employee.
The police said that Pallavi was alone at home, as her mother had gone out to the market, while her father and 21-year-old brother had left for work. The incident came to light at around 6.30 p.m. when Pallavi's mother returned home. She alerted her Srinivas, who informed the police. No suicide note was found, the police said.
“The body has been sent for post mortem. We are questioning the parents, neighbours and Pallavi’s friends to ascertain the reason behind her suicide,” an official said.
The Byappanahalli police have registered a case of unnatural death.
