Fight over IPL match, teen kills self

Agra: The war of the remote, being played out in households all over the country, took a fatal turn when a 16-year-old in Agra committed suicide allegedly because she couldn't get the remote from her brother who was watching the IPL match.

Geeta was found hanging from the ceiling of her room, shortly after an argument with her 17-year-old brother Rahul, who was watching the match between the Royal Challengers and Chennai Super Kings.

"The family told us that Rahul was watching an IPL (Indian Premier League) match when Geeta snatched the remote. She wanted to watch a serial on the Colors channel. There was a fight between the two and Geeta threw the remote on the ground. She then rushed to her room," a police official said.

When she did not come out of her room for long, her parents broke open the door and found her hanging from the ceiling.
