The Story in Brief
A 15-year-old girl was found hanging in a dilapidated house near her home in Bhopal on Friday night. Police recovered a blade and a handwritten suicide note from the spot, but the family has disputed the note's authenticity, claiming she could neither read nor write English. The post-mortem report suggests suicide by hanging.
The girl's family has alleged foul play, pointing to cut marks on her hands and legs. They also claim they received calls demanding money before the incident, and suspect she was killed after the demand was unmet. Police are comparing the note's handwriting with her known samples, and examining her phone records and social media. Additional police commissioner Shailendra Singh Chauhan said all angles are being probed.
The Indian Opinion
The rush to label this a suicide, based on a note in a language the girl could not read, feels lazy. The family's claim of extortion calls demands serious scrutiny before the case is closed. A handwriting comparison and call records will tell the real story. Did police check the locked room for signs of forced entry? That door is the key fact.
