A class 5 girl, eldest of her parents’ three children, reportedly killed herself because her father didn’t take her for shopping.
Chamarajpet police have taken up a case and launched an investigation.
On Saturday, the girl’s father attended a parent teacher meeting in her school and went home.
He then got ready to go to the market to buy clothes for his two other children, leaving the girl out. He had only recently bought her clothes.
She insisted to go along but the father didn’t agree. He asked her to stay at home and went with his wife and two children for shopping. The girl got so upset that she hanged herself, according to police.
The girl’s father was a painter, while her mother was a homemaker, police said.
