The matter has left eye-brows raised and has made the citizens wonder about the existence and clutches of the deep dark world of drugs and the network which makes available the fatal intoxication to youth even in this age bracket.
The incident is suspected to have occurred between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Sunday.
The girl has been identified as Sneha Upadhyaya, daughter of Gururaj Upadhyaya (43), resident of Srinivas Complex in Padavinangadi. She was a student of Sharada Vidyalaya. Sneha had reportedly stopped attending classes since a few months.
According to the complaint registered at Kavoor police station by her father Gururaj, Sneha had got addicted to drugs and had even undergone treatment at a rehabilitation centre in Bangalore. Following the treatment, she was in a better condition for a few days but had a relapse within no time.
However, when she was restrained from meeting her demand, she went to the extent of consuming pills prescribed for blood pressure, last month. This had landed Sneha in hospital.
However, early on Sunday, she was found hanging in her room. According to sources close to the family, Sneha took to drugs when she was studying at Mahatma Gandhi Centenary High School in Bondel. Once her habit became known to family members, she had been kept under tight leash at home, and Sneha was frustrated by this, said the sources.
The body was taken to Wenlock Hospital mortuary for post-mortem. Investigation is being conducted on the matter by authorities.
Gururaj is an employee at an electronic shop in Bejai.
