In an unfortunate event, a teenage boy, died after jumping from the 11th floor of his Gurgaon apartment building on Tuesday. He was a student of class 12th at a well-known private school in the city.
The Gurgaon police has confirmed the death and said the incident took place at an upscale residential condominium called the Carlton Estate, DLF Phase 5. There was no note or any other information that was recovered from the spot. The police have, however, obtained his mobile and will be tracing for any clues.
There were allegations of sexual assault that had been made by a girl on social media, which could have been a reason for the suicide. However, there has been no official confirmation on this.
The school where the boy studied has expressed grief over his demise.
“We are extremely shocked and saddened by the sudden death of one of our students under unfortunate circumstances. At this stage, we as a school together, with our extended community, truly believe that it is the time to grieve this incommensurable loss that has hit our community,” the school said in a statement. They further added, “Our deepest and heartfelt condolences are with the family of the young and bright student we have lost; as we know, there are no means for us to fathom the anguish and grief they are facing.”
