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. When the parents told the girl that they will take her for shopping the next day, Shirisha adamantly demanded that they buy her new clothes the very same day. However, her parents refused to do so.
Upset over this, Shirisha took a bottle of pesticide, went to a nearby farm and consumed it. Though she was rushed to a nearby hospital, the girl died while undergoing treatment. Asifabad police have registered a case.
