Chennai, 19 July (H.S.) : A 17-year-old girl from Avadi in Chennai died by suicide, leaving behind a disturbing message blaming the family of her boyfriend. The incident occurred at Nachiyar Chathiram, Vivekanandar Street, in Thiruninravur near Avadi. In her final message sent via Instagram to her sister, the girl wrote, Take care of mom… I don’t want to live anymore… feel like dying… don’t spare the boy’s family.

The girl had recently completed her Class 12 exams and was living with her mother and elder sister after her father's death. She was in a relationship with a young man living nearby, but opposition from both families led to friction between the couple. They hadn't been speaking for a few days prior to the incident.

On the day of the incident, the girl was alone at home. She tried calling her boyfriend using her sister's phone but didn't get a response. Following this, she sent the message to her sister before taking her life by hanging herself using the ceiling fan.

Thiruninravur police have registered a case and are investigating whether her death was solely due to the failed relationship or if there were other underlying reasons.
