A 14-year-old boy allegedly committed suicide in Nagpur in Maharashtra on Sunday after his father stopped talking to him over his lack of interest in studies, a police official said.

"He hanged himself using a towel in a first floor room of the house. He was declared dead on arrival by doctors are Mayo Hospital. We found that his father had stopped talking to him for not focussing on studies and skipping tuition. Further probe is underway," the Shanti Nagar police station official said.
