A tragic incident unfolded in Ajmer as a 15-year-old girl, a student in ninth grade, took her own life at her residence on Monday morning, according to police reports.

Authorities from the Civil Lines police station have confirmed the registration of a case concerning the girl's demise and have initiated an investigation into the matter. According to a report of Times of India, Manish Kumar, the father of the deceased girl and a resident of Ghooghra, shared with reporters that on Monday morning, as he was getting ready to leave for his job at a private company, he noticed his younger daughter, Bhoomika, aged 15, using her mobile phone.
