A schoolboy allegedly ended his life in Odisha's Balasore district on Tuesday by hanging himself after his parents did not allow him to go on a trip with his friends, police said.
The incident happened in Jamsuli village in the Singla police station area, they said.
The boy, a class 8 student, was upset after his mother did not allow him to go with his friends to Puri.
His family got worried as he did not come out of the bathroom for a long time. He also did not respond to repeated banging on the door. When family members broke open the door, they found him hanging from the roof with a towel around his throat.
Immediately, he was taken to the Basta hospital, where doctors declared him dead, police said.
A case was registered and the body handed over to the family after post-mortem examination, said Basta's SDPO Manas Deo.
