Mumbai:
Ashar Mendon was all set to study in Australia.
But now, the 18-year-old's dream has died with him.
Ashar, the son of a garment exporter committed suicide by hanging himself in their flat in Colaba on Monday.
The reason: his mother scared by the racial attacks on Indians in Australia forbade him to go.
Just days ago, Ashar had got admission at the Bond University in New South Wales for an undergraduate Information Technology course.
The police have not recovered any suicide note and are investigating his mobile records and going through his computer to get an idea of why he took this extreme step.
