Bantwal, Jan 8: A boy studying in eighth grade killed himself by hanging at his house in Punacha village here on Sunday, January 8.
The deceased is Hemanth, son of Punacha village resident Manila Ravindra Gowda.
Hemanth was a student of Sri Devi Vidya Kendra's high school.
When the whole family was away to attend the Irumudi ritual for deity Ayyappa Swamy's devotees in Punacha's Mahishamardhini temple, Hemanth hung himself by an iron rod fixed to the wall using an old skirt.
He had attended a pooja in the morning but stayed back at home in the evening telling his family members stating that he had to prepare for next day's class test when they called him to the temple.
