The parents of a 16-year-old girl are in shock after her daughter allegedly committed suicide by jumping off the 23rd floor of a high-rise in Tardeo, late on Friday night, while she was asleep.

A security guard found her lying in a pool of blood in the garden area of the ninth floor. She was rushed to Nair Hospital, where the doctors declared her dead on arrival. The police are still investigating the reason behind the alleged suicide, but sources said that she had attended a party at a friend's residence in Peddar Road that evening, and it's possible that something may have upset her there.
