A teenage girl in Uttar Pradesh's Hamirpur district allegedly attempted suicide on Tuesday after being repeatedly harassed by a stalker.
The girl, studying in the eleventh standard, attempted to commit suicide at her home by drinking a hair dye after the police allegedly did not register her complaint.
The victim claimed that the stalker, who is from the same locality as hers, barged into the victim's house and threatened the girl.
When her mother tried to stop him, he pointed a gun at her and tried to kill her.
The victim said, "He barged into our house and threatened to marry me. So, I drank hair dye to avoid bringing dishonor to my family."
The girl has now been admitted to Hamirpur's Sadar Hospital.
