A class seven student committed suicide by jumping from the balcony of her 29th-floor flat on Begur Road in southeast Bengaluru’s Hulimavu area, the police said on Wednesday, 24 January.
The only child of her parents, the 12-year-old girl was depressed, added the police.
“The girl had not written any note and we are yet to check if she was using any phone,” a senior police officer from Hulimavu Police Station told South First.
According to the police, a security guard of the apartment complex heard some noise at around 5 am on Tuesday and rushed to the corridor where he saw the girl with injuries lying in a pool of blood. He immediately alerted representatives of the apartment association.
She was rushed to the nearest hospital where she was declared dead on arrival, a senior police officer said.
The girl’s mother found her outside her room at around 4.30 am and when asked why she was up so early, she gave a vague reply and went inside her room, he said.
“We learnt that the child was depressed. The post-mortem has been done and we cannot reveal further details,” he added.
The girl’s father, a software engineer, quit his job six months ago and got into stock trading and her mother is a homemaker, the police said.
“We are yet to make our inquiries with the parents who are currently in shock,” the senior officer added.
