Hyderabad: 16-Year-Old Boy Dies by Suicide After Parents Scold Him for Using Mobile Phone.
A 16-year-old boy from Vinay Nagar Colony in Hyderabad died by suicide on Monday after being scolded by his parents for spending too much time on his phone and not focusing on studies.
The boy had recently failed one subject in his SSC (Class 10) exams and was preparing to take the supplementary exams. On Saturday, he borrowed a smartphone from a friend and played video games on it.
His parents had earlier warned him several times about using the phone and watching TV instead of studying. On Sunday, his mother scolded him again for watching television. On Monday evening, his parents again reprimanded him for playing games on the phone.
Feeling upset after the scolding, the boy reportedly hanged himself from a ceiling fan in his house.
The police in Saidabad have started an investigation into the case.
