12-year-old boy dies by suicide in Khanna

According to police records, the number is by far the highest since 2015, with seven reported in the past month.

“The teen was a native of Jharkhand’s Ranchi who arrived in Kota for medical preparation last May and had been staying in a hostel accommodation sharing with another girl in the Vigyan Nagar area,” a police officer familiar with the matter said

“She locked herself in her room last night when her roommate stepped out to speak to someone on the phone. Later her roommate called the other people and the hostel warden when the victim didn’t respond to her repeated knocks,” police added.
