Teen girl kills herself after damaging scooter in road accident in Udupi
Kota (Udupi): A 17-year-old girl allegedly died by suicide on Sunday afternoon after jumping into an agricultural pit in Kota, police said.
The deceased has been identified as Vanshika. According to preliminary information, she had left her house on Sunday morning on a scooter without informing her family. During the ride, the scooter reportedly slipped and fell on the road, sustaining damage.
Police said Vanshika returned home after the incident, parked the scooter back in its original place, and did not inform anyone about the accident. She later left the house again and is believed to have jumped into a nearby agricultural pit, where she drowned.
Police suspect that the teenager may have taken the extreme step out of fear or distress over damaging the scooter, though the exact reasons are yet to be established.
The body was recovered and sent for post-mortem examination. Kota Police have registered a case and are continuing the investigation.
