A 17-year-old girl allegedly died by suicide in a village in Punjab's Hoshiarpur on Monday, with her father claiming she was upset over being repeatedly harassed by two men.
The victim's father filed a complaint, alleging that his daughter, a Class 12 student of the senior secondary school in Bhambotar, was being harassed by two men - Rahul and Sahil - of the village, the police said.
