SSC student commits suicide in Chikhli

PUNE: Just a day before the SSC exams begin, a standard X student allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself with a sari at her house in Chikhli, about 40 km from here. The incident took place around 12.20 pm on Wednesday.
The Dehu Road police identified the 16-year-old girl as Bhagirathi Karvasayya Hiremath of Salunkhe building in Jadhavwadi.
Investigating officer Sampat Gaikwad said Bhagirathi was a student of a private high school in Chikhli.Her brother, Chidanand, too, is preparing for the board exam. "Bhagirathi ended her life when Chidanand had gone out of the house to recharge the sim card of his cellphone. Their parents, too, had gone out," Gaikwad said.
When Chidanand returned home after 15 minutes, he found the door locked from inside. He contacted his relatives when there was no response from Bhagirathi. They rushed to the house along with Chidanand's mother. "The relatives broke open the door with the help of neighbours and found Bhagirathi hanging from the ceiling fan," Gaikwad said. No suicide note was found in the house.
Bhagirathi's father, Karvasayya, works as a driver, while her mother Pramila does household work.
