New Delhi: A 17-year-old girl decided to end her life in Tamil Nadu’s Karur on Friday. In her suicide note, she alleged that she was being sexually harassed.
A class 12 student, the girl returned home from school on Friday evening and hanged herself to death while her widowed mother was absent. Her body was discovered by a neighbour, an elderly woman, who dropped by the house after she didn’t see the girl come outside for a long time.
During investigation, the suicide note allegedly left behind by the 17-year-old was recovered. The note read, “I should be the last girl who dies in Karur district because of sexual harassment. I am scared to say who the cause of this decision of mine is. I wanted to live on this earth for long and help others, but now I have to leave this world so soon.”
The police were called in and the deceased girl’s body was sent for post mortem.
