A 17-year-old girl on Monday allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a fan hook at her residence under Amalapuram town police limits in East Godavari district

Ms. Deva Sudha said that the girl had ended her life on Monday morning after her mother and brother have left for their daily work.

The locals and family members have found her hanging in her residence by afternoon. “The body has been sent to the government hospital in Amalapuram for post-mortem and investigation is on,” the SI said.

The girl was studying senior Intermediate. Those suffering from suicidal tendencies can dial the police at 9502947778 (Disha police wing).
