Tragic Suicide of UP Board Student in Etawah Village
In a heartbreaking incident, a Class XII student of the Uttar Pradesh Board allegedly died by suicide at her residence in Manikpur Mohan village, located under the Ikdil police station area of Etawah on Friday. According to police reports, the 16-year-old girl was home alone at the time, as her mother was away at a hospital and her elder sister was out studying.
Discovery of the Body After Alarming Calls
The tragedy unfolded when the girl's mother attempted to call her from the hospital but received no response. Growing concerned, she contacted the girl's grandfather and requested him to check on her. The grandfather, who was at his shop, rushed home only to find the door locked from the inside. With the assistance of neighbors, he managed to enter the house through the roof, where he discovered the girl's body hanging from the ceiling.
Police officials, including SHO inspector Vikram Singh Chauhan, promptly arrived at the scene. A police team collected evidence, took the body into custody, and sent it for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
Police Investigation Points to Underlying Issues
Inspector Chauhan stated that, based on preliminary findings, the case appears to be linked to either domestic discord or mental stress. This incident has raised serious concerns about the mental well-being of students, particularly those under academic pressure in the UP Board system. Authorities are continuing their investigation to uncover more details surrounding the circumstances that led to this tragic event.

- The student was a 16-year-old girl enrolled in Class XII under the UP Board.
