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.

Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.

The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).

"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.

The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.

The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.

Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.

They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.

Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
