A schoolboy committed suicide in Peshawar’s Gulbela Village on Saturday after his love interest stopped talking to him.
According to reports, Suleman, 14, of Sarhad Grammar School shot himself after the parents of the girl he loved, declined his marriage proposal on the basis that she was too young to be married.
“Suleman took the school guard’s gun and shot himself,” DSP Daudzai Sahibzada Sajjad said. The teenager was immediately taken to Lady Reading Hospital (LRH) where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Another official of Daduzai police station said, “The seventh grader’s classmate, who he loved, stopped talking to him after her parents refused to give her hand in marriage to Suleman, which left him upset and with no other choice but to end his life.”
