Navi Mumbai: A 14-year-old school student allegedly died by suicide at his residence in Ghansoli on March 20, with the reason behind the extreme step yet to be ascertained. He was rushed to a municipal hospital in Vashi after being found hanging at home, where doctors declared him dead.

Deceased Identified

The deceased has been identified as Preet Hareram Rankar, a resident of Rankar Aali in Ghansoli village. According to police, the incident occurred on Friday evening when the boy was alone at home. He allegedly used a towel to hang himself from a curtain rod located between the kitchen and hall.

At around 6 pm, when his parents returned home, they found him in a hanging condition and immediately shifted him to the hospital. However, he was declared dead on arrival.

Accidental Death Report Filed

Rabale police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and initiated an investigation into the case. “The exact cause behind the suicide is still unclear.
