Boy ends life as father refuses to buy iPhone

A 17-year-old boy in the One Town area of Vizag committed suicide at home on 24 November by hanging himself from a ceiling fan, according to the latest news.

Last week, the boy asked his father, a labourer, to buy an iPhone for him. When the father expressed his inability, the boy started sulking and coming home now and then. On Monday, he took the extreme step when no one was at home.

The police registered a case and are investigating.
