Teen ends life in Beed after being denied permission to play outside
Beed (Maharashtra) (PTI): A 15-year-old boy allegedly died by suicide after his mother refused to let him go out to play with his friend in Maharashtra's Beed district, police said.
The incident occurred in the Kaij area on Sunday.
A friend of the boy, who was a Class 9 student, visited his home at around 10 am on Sunday, urging him to come out and play.
However, the teenager's mother advised him to stay indoors due to the rising temperature and suggested he go out after 4 pm, a police official said.
Apparently distressed after being denied permission in front of his friend to play outside, the boy went into his parents’ bedroom, locked the door from inside, and allegedly hanged himself from the ceiling fan, he said.
His mother, who was occupied with household chores in the kitchen, did not notice anything unusual at first. Around 1:30 pm, upon finding the bedroom door locked, she raised an alarm.
Neighbours rushed to the scene, broke open the door, and found the boy lying unresponsive on the floor with a broken rope nearby.
He was immediately rushed to the sub-district hospital in Kaij. Due to his critical condition, medical officers referred him to a government hospital in Ambajogai, located 40 km away, but he passed away en route, the official said.
The body was handed over to the family after the postmortem.
The Kaij police have registered a case in connection with the incident.

Vijay unable to prove majority, not invited for CM oath ceremony: Sources
Chennai: Actor-politician Vijay has reportedly not been invited to take oath as Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after failing to demonstrate support from the required number of MLAs, sources in Raj Bhavan said.
According to media reports that quoted sources in the office of R.N. Ravi Arlekar, Vijay could not prove the backing of 118 legislators, the majority mark in the 234-member Tamil Nadu Assembly.
Despite last-minute efforts to secure support from the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK), Amma Makkal Munnetra Kazagam (AMMK), and an IUML legislator, Vijay reportedly managed support from only 116 MLAs, falling short by two members.
Sources said Vijay failed to submit letters of support from the VCK and the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).
Later, the IUML issued a statement clarifying that it was not part of the TVK-led alliance.
Meanwhile, AMMK leader T.T.V. Dhinakaran is also said to have informed the Governor that his party would support the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) instead.
Earlier in the evening, Vijay had met Governor Arlekar and staked claim to form the government, stating that he enjoyed the support of 118 MLAs.
