A 17-year-old girl died by suicide by hanging herself in the restroom of the One Stop Centre in Kaushambi, Uttar Pradesh, on Monday night. Police reported that the girl had previously run away with her boyfriend, which led her parents to refuse to take her back. Following this, the Child Welfare Committee placed her in the centre just days before her tragic death. The girl was scheduled to be transferred to 'Nari Niketan' in Prayagraj, but she took her life before that could happen. The One Stop Centre is a government facility aimed at supporting women affected by violence and distress, providing services such as medical aid, legal assistance, and psycho-social counselling. Local authorities, including Manjhanpur Circle Officer Shivank Singh, are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.
