A 17-year-old student named Krithi took her own life by jumping from the fifth floor of an apartment in Naganaathapura, near Parappana Agrahara in Bengaluru, following a dispute with her parents over her late-night mobile phone usage. The incident occurred on Tuesday night when Krithi’s parents, who are software engineers, noticed she was still on a call and entered her room to confiscate the device and reprimand her. Police stated that Krithi, who was studying second year pre-university at a private college, became upset by the scolding and subsequently climbed to the fifth floor of the Brindavan Apartment where she resided with her family. The couple, originally from Bihar, has been living in the city for 20 years. A case has been registered at the Parappana Agrahara police station.
