Hyderabad: Tragic incidents unfolded as two nine-year-old boys recently died by suicide in separate incidents in Telangana.
In one case, a boy from Warangal took his own life after his mother reprimanded him for venturing out in the hot sun. Siddhu, 9, a resident of Maisampally village, was discovered hanging by his mother upon her return from errands. The incident, reported at Duggondi police station, is under investigation following a complaint lodged by the victim’s uncle.
In another heartbreaking incident on May 26, another nine-year-old boy, E Harsha Vardhan, reportedly ended his life in Chinthagudem village, Gangaram mandal, Mahabubabad district. Harsha Vardhan, a student at Seethanagram government school, desired a fashionable hairstyle during his summer break, which his farmer father, Kantha Rao, refused. Distressed by this denial, the boy consumed pesticide, tragically resulting in his death.
