On Thursday in the Kandrapalam police station area of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, a 15-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide. According to police information, this incident occurred after an argument between the mother and daughter over the desire to purchase an expensive smartphone.
The deceased was a ninth-grade student and lived with her mother and brother. The family lived separately from the father due to disagreements between the parents. Police reported that the girl had insisted on buying an expensive mobile phone for the past few days. After seeing the same phone among her friends, she insisted that her parents buy her that specific model.
The girl's mother is a daily wage worker, and the family could not afford such an expensive purchase. The mother tried to explain her financial situation to her daughter, but conflicts often arose between them because of this issue.
The argument repeated on Thursday on the same topic. After the quarrel, the girl went into her room and locked the door from the inside. When she did not open the door after some time, family members suspected something was wrong and called for the door to be opened. Inside, they found the girl's body. This tragedy deeply shocked the entire family.
Upon receiving news of the incident, the Kandrapalam police arrived at the scene and began an investigation. The body was sent for forensic examination. The police registered the case and are conducting a thorough check of the incident. Currently, law enforcement agencies are trying to determine if there were other reasons in this situation. An atmosphere of grief prevails in the area, and neighbors express surprise.
