In a tragic incident in Beed district, Maharashtra, a 15-year-old girl committed suicide after facing persistent harassment from a 27-year-old tractor driver, Akshay Kale. The harassment reportedly began when she was in Class 9, prompting her family to transfer her to a different school and place her in a hostel to escape the stalker. However, the accused continued to pursue her, even attempting to gift her a mobile phone to facilitate communication. On the evening of her suicide, while her parents were working in nearby fields, Kale allegedly entered their home and attempted to engage her in conversation. Witnesses reported that the girl was under significant mental distress following this encounter. Her father had filed a written complaint with the police just five days before her death, but it was not officially registered. The family holds the police accountable for not taking timely action, believing that their daughter would still be alive had the authorities intervened. Police have since initiated an investigation into the case, focusing on the charges against Kale under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
