“An inquest report has been lodged in the matter, and further investigations are underway,” he added.While the police are investigating the possible causes behind the alleged suicide, according to informed sources, the teenager had talked to her sister in Assam over the phone a few hours before the alleged suicide.Though the police suspect it to be a case of suicide, VHP and Bajrang Dal activists in Satna district have alleged atrocities in the hostel to be behind the girl’s death.“After the girl’s death, an important official of the educational institution first introduced himself as the relative of the deceased girl, but later changed his statements, saying that she wasn’t related to her as he was an official there. Why such contradictory statements within a few minutes? The police should investigate the matter in detail, rather than treating it as a case of suicide,” VHP leaders Abir Dwivedi and Vikram Chaudhary alleged.According to sources privy to the ongoing police investigation, the deceased girl’s phone has been seized, and multiple persons associated with the hostel and the school are being questioned.(If you are having suicidal thoughts, or are worried about a friend or need emotional support, someone is always there to listen.
