Bhopal: Teen kills self after argument with father

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 15-year-old boy ended his life by hanging himself to the ceiling of his house in Nalkheda village of Berasia on Saturday noon, the police said. The police added that the boy’s father had advised him to pay heed towards his duties. Being irked by this, he argued with his father and committed suicide.

Station house officer (SHO) of Berasia police station, Girish Tripathi said that the teenager who took the extreme step has been identified as Mahendra Shriwas (15), who was a student at a private school in Bhopal. His father Vijay used to work as a barber and owns a shop in Nalkheda village of Berasia.
