The girl lived in Lakshmi Chawls, Malwani, along with her family.The police said the girl allegedly killed herself on Tuesday evening when there was no one in the house. After her relatives and neighbours learned about the incident, they rushed her to the general public hospital in Kandivali. She was declared dead by the doctors at the hospital.“During the preliminary inquiry, her relatives said the girl had a painful experience recently after having her first menstrual period. She was disturbed and was under mental stress over it.

The police conducted the panchnama and sent her body for postmortem. After completing the formalities, the body would be handed over to the family on Wednesday.
