A Class 8 student died by suicide in Uttar Pradesh’s Lucknow after his mother scolded her for playing mobile games for long hours, according to police.
The incident took place in Sector-G of the Ashiyana area of Lucknow. The 14-year-old student was using his mobile phone at night when his mother, Kumodini, scolded him for not focusing on his studies.
Following the incident, the boy went to his room, where he was later found hanging from the ceiling fan with a rope by his mother.
Upon discovering the boy’s body, the mother screamed and lost consciousness.
The boy’s father serves in the 93rd Battalion of the Central Reserve Police Force and was transferred to Lucknow in May. The family, originally from Odisha, has been living in Lucknow since then.
The boy was a student at a private school and was the middle child among three siblings. His elder brother stays with their grandparents in Odisha, while his younger brother lives with the family in Lucknow.
According to police, the family has not made any allegations against anyone in connection with the case. Ashiyana Police Station in-charge, Chhatrapal Singh, said the investigation is ongoing.
