On Monday, a 14-year-old boy allegedly committed suicide at a children’s home. The boy was found hanging on the first floor of the home by two inmates. They informed the home authorities, who then called the police. Upon investigation, police did not find any suicide note. According to the officials, the boy was an orphan and his younger brother too, lived at the home. The boys stayed at the home since 2016.
According to an official of the home, the boy was a Class IX student at a nearby civic school. A CWC member said that a separate inquiry will be done on how such an incident took place inside the home, where the children are kept under supervision. He added that they have also sought a report from the NGO as well on whether he had shown any signs of mental health issues.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone VI) Shahaji Umap said that they have registered an accidental death report and an inquiry is under way to find out the cause of the suicide. He added they will be speaking to his co-inmates, classmates at school and caretakers of the home to find out if he had spoken to anyone about any issues he was facing or if he was under depression.
