“A wave of grief has engulfed Silapathar, Assam, following the devastating suicide of 16-year-old Shivajit Nandi on April 5th. The 10th standard student was tragically found hanging at his residence in Majarbari Jamalpur village, leaving his family and the community in profound shock. Adding to the horror, CCTV footage reportedly captured Shivajit stabbing himself multiple times while recording the act on his mobile phone, allegedly to prove something to his 17-year-old girlfriend, with whom he had reportedly argued via phone shortly before. Shivajit’s family believes the girlfriend played a significant role in his decision to take this drastic step and has filed an FIR, expressing their concern that the investigation is not receiving the necessary urgency. The community is now calling for the girl’s arrest, hoping it will shed light on the heartbreaking truth behind this tragedy.”
