 In another incident that happened last month, a 14-year-old boy was discovered hanging from a ceiling fan at his home in Delhi's Shanti Nagar area. The Class 9 student was alone in his room when the incident took place. His parents and elder sister rushed him to a nearby hospital, but doctors pronounced him dead on arrival. Police have initiated an investigation to understand the circumstances surrounding his death. Authorities reported that the boy’s mobile phone was found set up to record a video in his room. Preliminary investigation revealed that the footage showed him staging the act multiple times before the chair he was standing on slipped, causing his death. A senior police officer said, "There were no indications of foul play. It appears the boy was recording a video when he accidentally slipped. His expressions in the footage suggest he was not intending to take his own life."
