Jalandhar: A 15-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide here for being unable to score satisfactory marks in her Std X exams, police said on late Saturday.
According to police sources, the deceased girl was a resident of Jaipur in Rajasthan who was visiting with her sister in the city for her summer holidays.
Her sister and brother-in-law said that the girl had been quite disappointed by her recently announced Std X results and might have taken the extreme step over her poor marks.
