A 17-year-old boy died by suicide at his female classmate’s residence in Faridabad’s Shiv Shakti Enclave on Thursday night. According to police officials, the teenager allegedly entered the home through a side entrance, accessing a boutique located on the ground floor of the property. While investigators currently suspect a one-sided love affair as the motive for the tragedy, they noted that the post-mortem examination performed on Friday did not indicate any immediate signs of foul play.
The incident followed previous interventions by both school authorities and the boy's parents. Last month, a meeting was convened at the student's school where he had provided assurances that he would stop stalking or harassing the classmate and would refrain from visiting her residence. Despite these promises, the boy arrived at the girl’s home on Thursday night. Police stated that the girl’s grandmother had initially turned him away, but he managed to return shortly thereafter and gain entry to the premises.
Following the discovery of the boy's body, his relatives arrived at the girl’s home, accusing her family of murder. This led to a violent confrontation where the residence was ransacked, and family members were assaulted. Two police officers sustained injuries due to stone-pelting while attempting to intervene in the escalating clash between the two families.
As a result of the violence, the Kheri Pul police registered an FIR against nine of the boy’s family members. Charges include rioting, being armed with a deadly weapon, and attempted murder. Police public relations officer Yashpal Yadav confirmed that the case is under investigation, with authorities processing the allegations of robbery and assault levelled during the incident. The boy’s body was initially taken to Badshah Khan civil hospital, where he was declared dead upon arrival.
