An 18-year-old girl, who went missing Thursday, has been found dead at a male friend's rented accommodation in the Rohini area of west Delhi, a police official said Friday.
"The Class 12 student went to school yesterday (Thursday) and did not return home. Her parents filed a missing complaint with the police around 6 p.m., and within hours we were informed by the friend of the girl that she hanged herself in his rented accommodation," a police official said.
The official added that the police have recovered a suicide note from the house where the girl was found dead.
"We are verifying the (authenticity of the) suicide note and are questioning the male friend," the official said.
Alleging that police delay in investigation led to the girl's death, locals and family members of the girl Friday protested outside the Mangolpuri police station and damaged two Delhi Transport Corporation buses.
