Ahmedabad: 14-year-old boy commits suicide

AHMEDABAD: A 14-year-old boy on Thursday hanged himself at his house in Vastrapur. The reason for his suicide is not yet known to police.
According to officers of Vastrapur police, Ashish Rawal, a resident of House 13 in Rahul Flats near Nirman High School, was a Class 10 student.
The suicide occurred at around 12.30pm on Thursday, when Ashish’s mother, Pushpa Rawal, 39, and his elder sister Priyanka, 17, had gone out to different places in Vastrapur where they work as domestic helpers.
Ashish’s father, Haresh Rawal, an autorickshaw driver, had gone to their native place in Patan, to repair his ancestral house.
When Pushpa was working at a house near Mansi Circle, she got a call from her neighbour telling her that Ashish had committed suicide. She rushed home and found Ashish lying unconscious on a bed and Priyanka was trying to revive him.
Priyanka told Pushpa that when she came home at around 12.30pm on Thursday, the door was not locked from the inside. On opening it, she found him hanging from the ceiling fan. She screamed for help and neighbours rushed in and undid the knot on the cloth Ashish had used to hang himself.
He was taken to Sola Civil Hospital where doctors declared him brought dead.
In her statement to Vastrapur police, Pushpa said she did not know of any problems Ashish was facing which may have led him to commit suicide. Investigators said they sent the body for a postmortem and registered a case of accidental death.
