Nahan: A case of suicide by a Class 10 student has come to light in Salani Katola Panchayat under Nahan Assembly constituency of Himachal Pradesh.

Seeing the scene inside the room, the mother and other family members lost their senses and there was screaming and crying in the house.
The girl hanging from her dupatta was immediately taken down and a local doctor was called to the spot. When the doctor reached the spot and checked the girl’s pulse, she was already dead.
