Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Distressed due to family issues, a minor girl committed suicide by hanging herself at her house in Gautam Nagar on Tuesday, the police said.
The police added that the exact reason behind the extreme step taken by the girl has not been ascertained yet, as her kin are in a shock due to the same and unable to give statements.
Gautam Nagar police station in-charge, Zaheer Khan said that the minor girl aged 17 years has been identified as Jaya Sauda, who was a student of Class 11 at a private school in Bhopal. Sauda committed suicide by hanging herself to the ceiling of the house on Tuesday morning, when her family members were asleep.
