Police said the girl was a Class VIII student at a private school in Vadaj. Her father is a daily-wage labourer.
The suicide was discovered on Thursday evening, when her mother returned after buying vegetables. “She found hanging from the ceiling fan,” said inspector Jignesh Rathwa of Vadaj police.
Rathwa said they did not find a suicide note or discover any probable reason but they suspect a domestic quarrel may be the immediate cause.
A police official said the family are of a humble background and did not have any issues with their neighbours. Police said that they will also inquire if the girl was facing any pressure in her studies or she was suffering with any illness.
Vadaj police registered a case of accidental death and began an investigation by taking statements of her family members and other locals. The body was sent for a post-mortem.
