Teenager commits suicide in Haripur after parents confiscate mobile phone
On March 11 last year, a teenage boy tragically took his own life in Haripur district after his parents confiscated his mobile phone.

“Teachers had punished him on several occasions for using his phone. They then told us to restrict his access to his cell phone,” said Zaman, who is the resident of Village Alooli.
When Zaman finally decided to confiscate his son’s cellphone, Ahmed didn’t take the decision too well. On Friday evening, the boy consumed rat poison in a bid to commit suicide.
He was first taken to Teaching Hospital Haripur and later shifted to the Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad. However, doctors were not able to save his life.
