Frustrated for not being able to fulfill his parents' expectations, a class 11 student committed suicide in Delhi's Madhu Vihar area, a police official said on Saturday.

The deceased was identified as 16-year-old Ankit Badola. The Madhu Vihar police station received a PCR call at 7.06 a.m. on Saturday morning regarding a suicide incident in the Chander Vihar area.

After the call, a police team immediately rushed to the spot where they found the young boy hanging in the bathroom with a rope tied to the window rod.
