Boy kills self after being scolded by father in UP’s Saharanpur: Police

Saharanpur (UP), Aug 10 (PTI) A 13-year-old boy took his own life on Saturday after being scolded by his father in the Deoband area of this Uttar Pradesh district, police said.

Superintendent of Police (Rural) Sagar Jain said Umar, a Class-5 student, was the son of Shamsher, a grocery shop owner in the Sarai Peerzadagaan neighbourhood.

Shamsher had asked Umar to bring some items for the shop. When Umar refused, he scolded him, the SP said.
