Mangaluru: In an incident reported from KC Road in Talapady near Ullal here, an 11-year-old boy committed suicide after the hostel authorities denied his request of making a phone call to his mother to wish her on her birthday.
The deceased 9th-grade student has been identified as Poorvaj (11), a student of Sharad Vidyaniketan School here.
According to the reports, Poorvaj is a resident of Hosakote in Bengaluru and was staying in the school hostel here. On Saturday, he reportedly requested the hostel officials to allow him to make a call to wish his mother on her birthday. The request was rejected by the officials.
Upset over the move of the hostel to deny his request of making a call, Poorvaj hanged himself in his hostel room.
