“The father gave us a statement that he had scolded her that day for being irregular to school and that could be the reason. Meanwhile, we have also learnt of rumours that she was being harassed by a boy of her age from the same locality. We will record the statement of the family again. Though, the post-mortem report confirms death by suicide,” a police officer from Rabale MIDC police station said.

The girl stayed with her parents, 14-year-old sister and a 20-year-old brother who worked on daily wages. The family originally hails from Nepal.
