A 15-year-old girl allegedly died by suicide at Lower Parel in Mumbai Saturday.
The NM Joshi Marg police have registered the matter as a case of accidental death.
The police have not recovered any suicide note but believe that the teenager, a Class X student, may have ended her life after getting a scolding from her parents over studies Friday night. A senior police official said the girl may have died Saturday around 7 am.
“A resident of the building found her body at the refuge area after which that person called and informed her parents,” said an officer.
The girl was rushed to a nearby hospital but was declared dead before admission.
“We are trying to ascertain the exact reason behind the death,” the officer added.
