A minor girl from Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara district allegedly committed suicide as her father couldn't buy a smartphone for her online classes. According to police officials, the girl took the extreme step as her father, a farmer with a smallholding, did not immediately buy her a smartphone for online classes.

The alleged incident took place on Thursday but came to light on Saturday, reports Hindustan Times. The incident took place at Poama village, about 3 kilometres from the district headquarters, under Dehat police station, a police official said.
