A 17-year-old Class 12 commerce student allegedly died by suicide after jumping from the fifth floor of a residential society in Ahmedabad’s Odhav area. Her father has alleged that a minor classmate blocked her on Instagram following an incident during a school trip to Mumbai.
Based on the father’s complaint, Odhav police have registered a case of alleged abetment to suicide against the 16-year-old classmate and launched a further investigation.
Student Returned From Mumbai Trip on September 30
According to the complaint, the girl lived with her family in Odhav and studied in Class 12 commerce at a school in Vastral. On September 26, she joined a school-organised trip to Mumbai, where she was friends with a 16-year-old boy studying at the same school.
During the trip, the girl stayed in a hotel room with her female classmates. The complaint alleges that when the other girls went downstairs for dinner, the minor boy entered the hotel room.
The girl returned home on the morning of September 30. Her family allegedly noticed that she had become withdrawn and was no longer communicating with them as usual.
Father Alleges Classmate Blocked Her on Instagram
According to the complaint, the girl went to her bedroom to study after other family members had gone to sleep in the living room. Later that night, the boy allegedly stopped communicating with her and blocked her on Instagram.
Her father subsequently examined her mobile phone and Instagram chats, following which he suspected that the incident had contributed to her distress. He alleged that the classmate’s actions had abetted her death.
Odhav Police Register Abetment Case
In the early hours of the following morning, around 5 am, the girl allegedly jumped from the fifth-floor balcony of her residence through its safety grille. A 108 emergency ambulance team arrived and declared her dead.
Police initially registered a case of accidental death. After the family examined the girl’s Instagram conversations and lodged a complaint against the minor classmate, police registered a case of alleged abetment to suicide.
Further investigation is underway. The allegations against the minor classmate have not been established in court.
