A 13-year-old, ninth-grade girl student in Gurugram, Haryana, died by suicide following study pressure and a feeling of loneliness. The minor girl took the extreme step on Wednesday night after she went to sleep in her room.
According to her mother, the student went to sleep in her room on Wednesday night, and the next morning, she went to wake her up.
On Thursday morning, the mother found her door locked from the inside and started knocking, but there was no response.

The police arrived at the scene and took custody of the student's body. The body was sent for a postmortem.
According to the police, a diary was also found near the student's body, which had a suicide note. On a page of her diary, the student described the intense pressure of her studies and her mental state.
The deceased student wrote in her diary that she had an exam on Thursday and was unsure where to start studying. She also wrote that she had been away from her friends for the past few days, which made her feel very lonely.
