Jalandhar (Punjab): Stopped and allegedly harassed by police and photographed by the
local media, a teenaged girl committed suicide Thursday in this
Punjab city.
Police officials said that the girl jumped before a train near
Domoria bridge in Jalandhar, 150 km from Chandigarh, after she was
clicked by some media persons in a car with a boy, when they were
stopped by police following a minor collision with another car.
Police sources said the girl pleaded with police personnel and the
media not to involve her in the matter and let her go but they did
not listen to her. She even allegedly threatened that she would
commit suicide if her photographs were taken.
When her pleas were not heeded, the girl went to the nearby
railway tracks and jumped before a moving train. She died on the
spot, police said.
