TW: mention of suicide, trauma, and depression
An 18 year old lad in Kamothe (Navi Mumbai) unalived themselves allegedly due to their father not being able to or rather refused (per some media reports) to fulfill their wish. The demanding youngster had earlier requested his father, a cement businessman, to purchase an iPhone worth Rs 1.5 lakh. However, the father bought him a budget Vivo handset. Upset over the ordeal, the teen unalived themselves at their residence. The police have registered a case of accidental death. The cops also reported that the deceased dropped out of school and was in corrupt company, involving drugs.
