Teen Takes Own Life After Being Denied Mobile Phone: Shocking Incident in Surat

Surat: A tragic incident in Surat’s Pandesara area has left the local community stunned after a 17-year-old student died by suicide, reportedly following a disagreement with his father over a mobile phone.

The teenager, a Class 12 student, had allegedly become increasingly distracted by his phone, spending most of his time on it rather than focusing on his studies. Concerned about his son’s excessive phone usage, the boy’s father refused to provide a new device, leading to tension between them.

According to police sources, the boy was deeply upset by the refusal and ended his life shortly after the confrontation. Authorities were alerted to the situation and arrived promptly at the scene. The body was sent for post-mortem examination, and an investigation has been initiated.

The incident has reignited concern over rising mobile phone dependency among teenagers, and the emotional toll it can take when boundaries are set. Experts stress the importance of open communication between parents and children, especially when addressing digital habits.

This heart-wrenching case serves as a grim reminder of how modern tech-related pressures can escalate into devastating outcomes if not managed with sensitivity and care.
