The girl's father died five years ago and she lived with her two elder brothers and two sisters, Meena said. The officer said while no suicide note was recovered from the girl's possession, it has been learnt that some elders in her family objected to her speaking to a boy. The claim is yet to be verified. The police handed over the body to the girl's family after post-mortem. A case of unnatural death has been registered and the matter is being investigated, Meena said.
