In Mahim, a 13-year-old girl committed suicide by jumping to her death from the 4th floor of a building, after being scolded by her parents for using her phone excessively, according to police officials on Thursday.
She was brought to Sion Hospital, where doctors immediately pronounced her dead on arrival.
The girl, however, didn't appear to take it positively and jumped from the fourth story of the building.
The police officer said, “She stayed in a nearby chawl and her father works with a builder, doing construction work. Her mother also does small chores. They usually stay out for work, and the girl mostly used to stay alone at home. She was in Class 9. She was seen mostly glued to her mobile, which angered her parents and they then scolded her.”
“We have registered an accidental death report (ADR) in the matter and are yet to record detailed statements of the family members,” the officer added further.
