Telangana: A teenage girl - upset over lack of toilet in her house - allegedly committed suicide on Tuesday by setting herself on fire on Tuesday.
The incident took place in Nalgonda in Telangana and preliminary inquiry revealed that she was unhappy over lack of toilet at her house at Gundala village in Nalgonda district.
The girl (17), a first-year intermediate student, doused herself with kerosene and set herself on fire after her parents left for the work, police sub-inspector K Raja said.
She died on the spot.
"Her parents are farm labourers and the family is poor. They don't have a toilet at house and have to go outside to answer the nature's call. The girl had been asking her parents to build a toilet of late and they had told her they will be able to construct one by next summer," the officer said, citing the parents' statement.
The police is investigating the case and arrests will be made soon, said a source.
