Unable to pay school fee, girl ends life

Kanpur: A sixteen- year- old girl allegedly committed suicide after her parents asked her to leave studies as they were hard-pressed to pay her school fees, the police said on Saturday.

The parents of 16-year-old Rakhi Yadav, a student of class XI, failed to pay her fees for two consecutive months following which she received periodic notices from school, they said.

When Rakhi reminded her father, a milk man, yesterday to submit the amount on the due date, he lost his temper and asked her to discontinue studies as he could not afford to pay the fees.

A shocked Rakhi then locked herself up in her room and hanged herself, the police said.
