New Delhi, Dec 6: A class 7 student allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself at her house in west Delhi's Inderpuri area, police said Thursday.

Her mother suspects that the girl might have taken the extreme step because she was scolded by a school teacher. However, the police said an investigation was underway for ascertaining the reason.

The girl committed suicide at her house Saturday when her mother, who is advocate, had gone to court, a senior police officer said.

A suicide note was recovered from the spot, he said.

Meanwhile, the school management in its statement said they are fully cooperating with the investigating authority and were also conducting an internal inquiry.

"As of now we are not at liberty to disclose any details which may jeopardise the police investigation of the case," the statement said.

Belagavi  (PTI): Karnataka Assembly Speaker U T Khader on Monday condoled the death of veteran politician Shamanur Shivashankarappa.

The 94-year-old Davangere South MLA died in a private hospital on Sunday after a prolonged illness. His last rites will be performed in Davangere on Monday.

Mourning his demise, Khader said it is a painful day for the House as the sitting member of the state Assembly and former minister has died.

"His contribution to society is vast, not only politically but also religiously, socially and culturally," Khader told reporters here.

In his 94 years Shivashankarappa demonstrated how to take everyone along and used to solve many problems with a smile and patience.

The Speaker said the Assembly members will pay condolences to the departed soul, after which the session will be adjourned for Tuesday.

To a question whether he was looking to increase business hours this time, Khader said there is a business advisory committee that will look into it.
