17‑Year‑Old Found Hanging in Faridabad Boutique After Family Arrests
A 17‑year‑old boy was found hanging inside a boutique at his female classmate’s house in Faridabad’s Shiv Shakti Enclave on Thursday night. Police suspect a one‑sided love affair as the motive. The boy had previously assured his parents, school authorities and the girl’s family that he would not follow or harass her or approach her residence. When he entered the house through a second entrance, he was discovered hanging. The body was taken to Badshah Khan Civil Hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. A post‑mortem carried out on Friday found no foul play. After the incident, the boy’s family members entered the girl’s home, assaulted her family, ransacked the house and robbed valuables. Two policemen were injured by stone‑pelting while intervening in the clash. Nine members of the boy’s family were arrested on charges including attempted murder, robbery and rioting. An FIR was registered under sections 191(3), 190, 221, 121(1), 132, 309(4), 309(6), 331(5), 109(1) and 324(6) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The incident was reported by Faridabad police public relations officer Yashpal Yadav. The case is under investigation by local authorities.
