A girl committed suicide after failing to pass this year’s SSC exams at Satla village of Uzirpur upazila in Barisal Thursday afternoon.
Bithika, 15, youngest daughter of Laxman Chandra Bain, hanged herself with a scarf from a beam of her tin-shed house, said Nasiruddin, sub-inspector of Uzirpur Police Station.
Bithika became depressed when she came to know of her failure after the publication of SSC results on Thursday noon, he added.
Bithika’s sister Saraswati said all her family members were out of home when the incident happened. They were working in a nearby field to harvest paddy.
In the afternoon, they returned home and found her body hanging from the beam, she added.
Police recovered the body and sent it to Sher-e-Bangla Medical College Hospital morgue for an autopsy, said Sukumar Roy, officer-in-charge of the police station.
An unnatural death case was filed, he added
