Mysore : A teenaged girl committed suicide by hanging herself in Ashokapuram police limits on Wednesday, unable to bear the harassment of two neighbourhood men Krishna and Kumar, who were allegedly making castigating remarks on her character. Lavanya (19) daughter of Bangari and Meenakshi, residents of  Ambedkar  Colony,Ashokapuram is the deceased.

According to Bangari what triggered the trouble was his wifes attempt to ward off the evil by hurling sacred white ash and vermillion given by a black magician in front of the houses of Krishna and Kumar a few months ago.  Since  then, the two began to harass Lavanya by making remarks on her character, said Bangari. On May 06, Lavanya had decided to end her life and had also written a suicide note addressing her brother Ganesh, blaming Krishna and Kumar for robbing her peace.

On Wednesday afternoon, she took the extreme step by hanging herself when she was alone at her house. Based on the old suicide note, Krishna and Kumar have been booked under section 306 of IPC. Mothers superstitions also led the girl to end her life, sources said.
