Hyderabad, January 11: A 15-year-old girl committed suicide by setting herself ablaze in neighbouring Ranga Reddy district after a youth allegedly proposed her to love and marry him, police said.
The girl, a tenth standard student, who was staying with her maternal uncle at Veerareddypalli village near Tandur town of Ranga Reddy district, was proposed by a youth Balraj Goud to marry him but she spurned him, they said.
