An eleven-year-old girl from Sambhaji Nagar in Rabale died by suicide at her residence on Wednesday night when nobody was at home. The Class 5 student was spotted by a neighbour through the window.

Meanwhile, we have also learnt of rumours that she was being harassed by a boy of her age from the same locality. We will record the statement of the family again. Though, the post-mortem report confirms death by suicide,” a police officer from Rabale MIDC police station said.
