Teenager dies by suicide after mother restricts her phone use.

As per multiple reports, the girl’s family hails from Madhya Pradesh, and they have been living in an apartment in the Kadugodi area. Her father is an engineer, and her mother is a homemaker. The girl studied at a private CBSE school in the Whitefield locality. Preliminary investigations suggest that the girl was preparing for her upcoming annual exams, scheduled to begin on February 15.

However, shortly after the conversation, the girl was reportedly found unresponsive in the apartment complex. Authorities were alerted, and the Kadugodi police rushed to the scene to gather information about the incident.

Official statements from parents have yet to be recorded.
