"A girl, studying in Class 11, died by hanging herself in Lucknow. No suicide note was found," police said.

Earlier on March 4, a 14-year-old girl died allegedly by suicide after a private school reportedly refused to let her sit for an exam due to non-payment of fees in the State's Bareilly district, according to Bareilly SP (City) Rahul Bhati.

Ashok Gangwar, the deceased girl's father, said, "She was in Class 9, but due to financial constraints we were not able to pay her school fees on time. We requested the school administration to let her give the exam but they refused. The fee was somewhere around Rs 20,000-25,000. She wanted to become a doctor."
