A devastating incident unfolded in Umred as a 15-year-old student, Utsav Narendra Gadborikar, took his own life by hanging himself. The heartbreaking incident occurred at his residence in Itwaripeth Umred. The primary cause behind this desperate act was Utsav’s father’s refusal to buy him a mobile phone.
Utsav, a student of Class 10, had been grappling with an increasing addiction to mobile phones in recent days. Concerned about his academic performance, his parents urged him to focus on his studies instead. However, he persisted in using his mother’s mobile phone, leading to frequent arguments within the family.
Desperate for his own device, Utsav approached his father, requesting a mobile phone. Unfortunately, due to their challenging financial circumstances, his father was unable to fulfil his son’s wish. Tragically, this rejection pushed Utsav to take the extreme step of ending his own life.
Umred Police promptly registered a case of accidental death in response to this devastating incident. The entire community is mourning the loss of a young life and grappling with the repercussions of this heart-wrenching tragedy.
