... Mother, I have committed a lot of mistakes in life but I have also committed a mistake for which there is no forgivenes­s… I have fallen in love and this is why I should die. Please tell (the boy) that I am sorry...

A 15-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan of her room at her house in Sahibabad village on Wednesday afternoon. The body was found by the girl’s mother on Wednesday at around 2pm.

According to the police, the mother of the girl, who works at a factory in sector 62, Noida, came home at around 2 pm. The girl, who was a student of Class 8 at a private school nearby, lived with her mother at a rented house in Sahibabad village.

They mother-daughter duo had shifted here just six months ago and hail from Punjab.

The police said that preliminar­y investigat­ion indicates that the girl’s mother opposed her relationsh­ip with a boy from the locality, who is also a minor.

“The mother informed the neighbours about the incident and they called the police. Preliminar­y probe showed the girl was upset as her mother was angry with her over her relations with a boy,” said Anup Singh, circle officer, Sahibabad.

In her suicide note, the teenager said that she is ashamed of her mistake which she has committed and it is unpardonab­le.

“... Mother, I have committed a lot of mistakes in life but I have also committed a mistake for which there is no forgivenes­s.… I have fallen in love and this is why I should die. Please tell (the boy) that I am sorry...” wrote the girl in her suicide note.

The police have not lodged a complaint yet.

“The mother found the suicide note in the room where the girl committed suicide. She has not filed a complaint in the matter though the body has been sent for post-mortem,” said Singh.
