The body of a 15-year-old girl was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her room in west Delhi's Vikaspuri area, after which her parents alleged that a school senior had been "stalking and harassing" her.
Police said the incident came to light yesterday. However, investigators are yet to establish any evidence of stalking or harassment by the 17-year-old boy, accused by the girl's parents.
"Initial probe has thrown up no evidence of either stalking or harassment. It appears that the boy and the girl were friends and were often spotted in school speaking to each other," a police officer said.
Police said day before yesterday the girl had a lengthy conversation with her parents over her friendship with the boy, and added that they are also "probing if she was scolded by them and hence disturbed".
According to police, the parents of the girl complained to the school authorities on Tuesday about stalking after "learning of the possible friendship between the two", and that they also "paid a visit to the boy" on Wednesday.
"The parents paid a visit to the boy to check his background following which they returned home to find their daughter hanging from the ceiling fan of her room," a police officer said.
