An eight years old girl has been found hanging from an iron bar placed across a window. The eight-year-old girl died while enacting before her younger brother, the scene of a suicide she saw on television.
An official of Police said that the fifth standard student, while playing with her five years old brother Appu on Tuesday in the absence of her parents, attempted to demonstrate the scene of the hanging, she saw in a TV serial.
While enacting the scene, she went to a room & closed the door. When she failed to come out of the room, Appu started shouting for help, alerting the neighbours who broke open the door & found the girl hanging from an iron bar placed across a window.
Well, Its very sympathetic to see this kind of scenerio happening, in one of the Most Literate State of INDIA i.e Kerala.
For this T.V Serials, with Suicide case should be completely banned.This had happened because of lack of proper Guidance, and Young Generation trying to emitate there Most Favourite actors.
Something is seriouly advised to stop this, as such kind of things are increasing.
