Bengaluru: A 16-year-old committed suicide after his father refused to get him a smart phone.
The deceased, C. Gagan, was a class 10 student of Vidyanagar Government High School in Chikkajala. He hung himself to the ceiling of an under construction building in Chikkajala early Wednesday.
Gagan’s father Channakrishna, a farmer, said Gagan was asking for a smart phone for past few days and used to quarrel with him, saying his schoolmates mocked him for not having one. Channakrishna had assured him of a telephone after the class 10 exam.
On Tuesday night Gagan again quarreled about smart phone and later around 3 am walked out of the house. He went to the under-constructed building, owned by his father, and committed suicide, the police said.
The incident came to light when Gagan’s mom woke up at around 4 am and saw the house main door open and her son missing.
She alarmed her husband and he went looking for Gagan, just to discover him dead. The parents immediately informed the police.
