The girl, who had moved around during the whole day watching local puja mandops, went to sleep at about 11:00pm in her room, said locals and police.

Finding no response from inside, they broke open the door and found her body hanging from a beam with her scarf. On information, police went to the spot, recovered the body and sent it to Thakurgaon Hospital for autopsy. Reason behind the suicide could not be known immediately.
