A 15-year-old allegedly committed suicide on Tuesday.  The girl was a Class IX student at Ahlcon Public School in Delhi's Mayur Vihar, Phase-I.

The girl's father alleged that the girl took the extreme step due to low marks and harassment by teachers.

He said that her daughter was harassed by two school teachers who also failed her in exams intentionally.

''She told me her SST teachers touched her inappropriately, I said since I'm also a teacher I can say they can't do it, might be a mistake but she said, 'I'm scared of them, no matter how well I write they'll fail me.' Ultimately they failed her in SST. School killed her,'' said the father of the victim. 

''The 15-year-old girl was brought to us, on arrival her pulse and blood pressure were un-recordable. We tried to revive her but couldn't. Cause of death can be known after postmortem,'' said a doctor at Kailash Hospital where a girl was admitted after she was found hanging from a railing. 

A case has been registered under sections 306 & 506 IPC & POCSO Act. Further investigation is underway.

''Our officers will also visit the school today, said Arun K Singh, SP, Noida City.
