Maharashtra teen who died over iPhone attempted suicide from same cliff in 2025 too

A 19-year-old boy from Maharashtra died by suicide at Khavda Hill in the Tisgaon area earlier this week. This was not his first attempt; he had also tried to take his own life last year from the same cliff. The incident occurred after an argument with his parents over his demand for a new mobile phone and subsequent financial demands for iPhone EMIs.

Three family members, including the father and son, died in the incident. Police are investigating if the dispute over the iPhone was the sole trigger for the teenager's extreme action.
