The parents suspect foul-play in the whole case. The mother of the girl claims her cellphone being taken from them upon entering the school premises. The parents also claimed that they were rushed throughout the process and were made to cremate their daughter immediately.

Why the family of Noida Teen Suicide Case Call Consider the Call Being Raped?
The parents of the deceased girl cremated her in a rush. Also, it is interesting to note that the mother spoke about her daughter’s torn clothes, and her salwar being loose from the waist. She suspects that her daughter was raped and then later killed as a cover up. The suicide note conveniently sheds the school off of any responsibility. The note also blames her family, and their personal problem for causing her enough pain to take her own life. Also, forcing the parents to sign a document which states that the girl did die of natural causes, is a step which ensures that the parents cannot contest against the school authorities.
The school authorities went out of their way to ensure no blame goes to them, with rushed cremation, signing of documents, taking away the parent’s phones, all seems as if they tried to hide or cover something up.
The family wrote a letter to the Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar to look into the matter and investigate the school authorities.
The school authority, however, denied all the allegations. During the lockdown period, many including the celebrities have committed suicide. But for a girl of age to commit suicide requires a big personal reason. What might have been the cause it is for time to decide but it is important for parents to look after every behavior of their children and act if they find any of their behavior to be unusual.
