When the security guard reached the spot, the girl was lying in a pool of blood, and she was rushed to a nearby hospital. However, she was declared dead by doctors.

The report also said that the girl’s mom noticed her coming out of her room at 4.30 am and she even asked her why she was up that early. The girl, however, went back to her room.

A senior police official told PTI, “It is a suicide, and we are yet to find any suicide note in her room. We found that the girl was depressed and going through mental health issues. The post-mortem has been done and we are investigating further.”

The girl’s father used to work as a software engineer at an IT company and had quit his job six months ago, said police.
