According to reports, a 13-year-old boy with chickenpox died of suicide in Kanchanbagh on Tuesday. He allegedly became upset after his parents asked him not to go out because he had chickenpox.
The victim, identified as Abdul Rehman, lived with his parents in Hafeez Baba Nagar, which is located within the Kanchanbagh police station’s jurisdiction. As a result of having chickenpox a few days ago, Rehman’s parents asked him not to play with other children. In spite of this, he insisted on going out and meeting his friends on the street.
“When his parents forbade him from leaving the house, he shut himself in a room on Tuesday night. He was later found hanging,” Kanchanbagh Sub-inspector Nasreen Begum said.
As soon as the family noticed it, he was rushed to the hospital, where he was declared dead.
