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.

Woman Police Commissioner goes undercover to assess women's safety in Hyderabad
Hyderabad (PTI): Soon after taking over as Malkajgiri Police Commissioner B Sumathi went undercover and took up a field visit after midnight on May 1 to assess law and order, including women's safety.
Sumathi assumed charge as the Malkajgiri Police Commissioner on May 1.
On the same night, the senior IPS officer, in plainclothes, moved through the streets of Dilsukhnagar here, standing alone for some time to get a first-hand knowledge of law and order situation, official sources said on Wednesday.
"It was a general checking and she later interacted with police officials," they said.
The sources said about 30-40 individuals who approached her were counselled regarding their behaviour towards women in public places.
Sumathi, who earlier headed the Special Intelligence Branch (SIB), of the Telangana Police, oversaw the long drawn process of the Maoists joining the mainstream.
