Don't want to live in a 'money loving' world: 13-year-old boy writes in suicide note on WhatsApp

New Delhi, Sept 3: A 13-year-old boy committed suicide here by hanging himself from a ceiling fan, just a day before his birthday.

What is more shocking is that the boy, who was unhappy with the strained relationship of his parents, left a suicide note on mobile messaging app WhatsApp.

In what could be termed as boy's 'suicide note' the boy wrote, "I don't want to live in a world where people give more value to money over relations."

Shanu, a class 9 student, was found hanging around 12.30 a.m. on Tuesday inside his aunt's house in Welcome in east Delhi, where he had gone a few days ago.

Police said Shanu and his elder brother Shikhar were sleeping in the same room.

"Shikhar found Shanu hanging from the ceiling fan when he awoke in the midnight. He later informed his aunt. He was rushed to Guru Teg Bahadur hospital where doctors declared him brought dead," said a police officer.

The officer said police recovered a suicide note from the boy's mobile phone.

"Our investigation suggests that Shanu was upset with the relationship of his parents. His mother lives in Dubai to earn money while his father, who is a photographer by profession, lives in Delhi and he is ill for sometimes."

"This was the bone of contention between his parents," the officer said.

Police said Shanu and his brother live with their grandparents in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh and he came to his aunt's house with his brother on August 15.
