New Delhi: In yet another tragic incident, a 12-year-old girl in Haryana, unable to cope with the loss of her pet dog, died by suicide on Saturday. She was found hanging in her home by her mother, who immediately informed the authorities. “A 12-year-old girl hanged herself to death as her pet dog had died some days ago. She was extremely tensed since then, the family says,” said the police official investigating the case.
According to the family, just five days ago, they had faced the loss of their pet dog, a companion the girl had cherished for three months. Since then, she had been visibly distressed, showing signs of depression and refusing to eat properly. Despite her family’s attempts to console her, the Class 6 student’s grief at losing the puppy seemed insurmountable.
Mother and sister were out for grocery shopping
The tragic occurrence unfolded yesterday evening when the girl’s mother and sister left the house for a routine grocery trip, leaving her alone at home. Overwhelmed by her emotions and consumed by her longing for her beloved pet, the young girl made the devastating decision to end her life.
Mother recounts tragedy
Amidst her grief, the mother bravely shared details of her daughter’s final days, recalling the deep bond the girl shared with her pet and the depths of her grief following his passing. “She was taking care of a puppy for the last three months. He had stopped eating since his death five days ago. While I was going out to buy vegetables, I got a disturbing call from our neighbours, informing me about my daughter’s tragic fate,” the mother said, crying.
