A tragic incident has surfaced from Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh as a 15-year-old boy committed suicide as his family refused to repair his mobile phone.

The boy allegedly would get into arguments with his family members for continuous gaming. He had asked to get his phone repaired after it had stopped functioning. However, the family refused to do so.

This led to him being very furious. He stormed into his room and committed suicide by hanging. He was rushed to the hospital by his family members, where he was declared to be dead.
