Teenager shoots himself dead over mobile phone
New Delhi, Oct 7 : Enraged over an issue of a mobile phone with his sister, a 17-year-old boy allegedly shot himself dead with a country-made pistol on Sunday in Dwarka's Bindapur area, police said.
The deceased was identified as Gulshan, they said.
Police were informed about the incident at 6.18 am by the hospital authorities.
The injured was rushed to a hospital where he was declared brought dead, police said, adding that he had suffered a gunshot wound.
It is suspected that the shot was fired from a very close range, a senior police official said.
Police also found four live cartridges in Gulshan's pocket.
The deceased's father, Ranbir Singh, said the doctor that Gulshan had injured himself.
He told police that his son arrived in the morning and rang the doorbell. On opening the door, he found his son lying with an injury.
Gulshan was angry with his sister over an issue of mobile phone and smashed her phone before leaving home last night, the officer quoted Singh as having said.
The pistol used to commit the suicide was recovered, police said, adding that it was found loaded with two rounds.
The weapon was picked up by his uncle as he felt the pistol could be mishandled by someone after the incident and he later produced the same before the police, the officer added.
A case was registered, police said, adding that the matter is being investigated.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
