#MeToo Minor Boy Suicide | Father Alleges Planned Defamatory Post By Girl & Her Friends

Its a month now that a 17-year-old boy jumped to death from his apartment in DLF Phase V in Gurugram. The suicide took place on May 4, after the boy’s female friend posted her #MeToo account on instagram of being sexually exploited by the minor. The girl had narrated one sided details which allegedly transpired between her and the deceased boy two years ago.

After much uproar in social media, a special investigating team (SIT) had been formed and eventually within a fortnight, FIR was registered against ‘unknown persons’.

In his recent interview to TOI, the father says that the post by the girl was not a spontaneous one but a planned move by a group of four-five girls. He has also alleged that an adult man is involved too as his son had received threats over the phone from him. The father quoted,

The post caused acute mental harassment and maligned my son’s image. I was also told by his friends that he also received threat calls from a man. I got the man’s phone number from my son’s call records, but it has been switched off since May 5.

Other than the man who allegedly called his son, all the others in the list he gave police are minors. ACP (Sadar) Aman Yadav, who is heading the investigation, said,
