A 16-year-old girl in Madhya Pradesh has allegedly committed suicide after watching TV programmes that made dooms-day predictions relating to the atom-smasher experiment in Geneva on Wednesday.
Chhaya, a resident of Sarangpur town in Rajgarh district, consumed sulphos tablets (an insecticide) on Tuesday, her parents said. The girl was rushed to Indore’s MY Hospital where she succumbed on Wednesday.
Her parents told reporters that she was watching a news report relating to the world’s biggest atom-smasher experiment on TV channels for the last two days and was restless.
Police have registered a case in this regard and further investigations are on. The experiment is being carried out to recreate the birth of universe and unlock its secrets, with scientists rubbishing reports of any threat to the planet because of it.
