ADILABAD: In a shocking incident, a girl killed herself by consuming pesticide after her parents refused to buy her new clothes. The deceased minor has been identified as N Shirisha, 15, a resident of Appapalli village in Kumrambheem-Asifabad district.

According to police, Shirisha, a Class 10 student, asked her parents to buy her new clothes on Thursday.
