Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A 17-year-old boy ended his life late Tuesday night after an argument with his mother regarding marriage. The incident took place under Ashoka Garden police station limits.
Police said the teenager Muzammil Uddin, had dropped out of school after class 10, and had been working for the past year as a computer operator at an MP Online shop.
On the night of the incident, he returned home late with his minor girlfriend, asking his mother to arrange their marriage immediately.
