A 16-year-old schoolgirl allegedly died by suicide by hanging herself at her home in Kalia upazila of Narail after becoming upset with her mother for refusing to give her a mobile phone.

The incident occurred at her home on Saturday afternoon.

The deceased was identified as Tania Khanam, daughter of Tafsir Sheikh of Telidanga village under Naragati Police Station in Kalia upazila. She was a Class ten student at a local secondary school.

According to family members, Tania asked for her mother's mobile phone on Saturday afternoon. However, her mother left home for work without giving her the phone. When she returned in the afternoon, she found the door of Tania's room locked from inside. After repeatedly calling her daughter without receiving any response, she entered the room with the help of neighbours after breaking open the door. They found Tania hanging inside.

She was rescued and rushed to Lohagara Upazila Health Complex, where the emergency department physician declared her dead.

Confirming the incident, Naragati Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Md Hossain Ali said the body had been recovered and sent to the morgue of Narail District Hospital. It would be handed over to the family after completion of legal procedures.
