The tragic suicide of a 17-year-old girl highlights the severe impact of financial stress on families. The incident took place after continuous harassment from her paternal uncle regarding a loan.
After her father's suicide six months ago, the girl and her mother faced relentless pressure to repay a joint loan, allegedly leading to her aunt's demands to vacate their home.
The family's plight ended in tragedy last Thursday, but even as the uncle has been arrested, police have dispelled allegations of sexual harassment.
