A devastating tragedy struck a family in Punjab's Jalandhar city last weekend after a 17-year-old boy was found having taken his own life at home. Karanveer Singh had been living with illness for over half a year and was not attending school regularly. According to authorities, the young man had become heavily dependent on mobile phone usage during his time spent at the residence.
Karanveer's parents were said to have limited his phone access in recent months in hopes of aiding his physical and mental health recovery process. Tragically, on the day in question while home alone, Karanveer appears to have made the fateful decision in the midst of struggles over this change. The police are currently reviewing the case under relevant code but do not suspect foul play at this time.
The passing of any young person is an unimaginable tragedy for their loved ones. This family continues to face enormous grief over the loss of their son at such a young age. As a community, we must foster open discussions on responsible technology use and prioritize overall well-being, especially for those facing challenges or isolation. Our thoughts are with Karanveer's family and friends during this difficult time.
