‘You know nothing’: Maharashtra hill tragedy victims' relative refutes iPhone EMI claims
The teen's aunt described the iPhone narrative as a "rumour", claiming that people spreading such tales "know nothing".
An aunt of the 18-year-old who died by suicide in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, has denied rumors that her nephew's suicide was triggered by iPhone EMI payments. The teenager's parents had also passed away attempting to save him. When he threatened to jump off a 250-foot-deep gorge, he was followed by his father and then his mother, who all tragically fell to their deaths.
The aunt, in a social media video, described the family's grief, calling the iPhone EMI story a rumour and urging people not to spread misinformation. She stressed that her parents, both 75 years old, could not cope with the shock of such words. The police are investigating whether the dispute over the iPhone EMI was the sole trigger for the teenager's suicide attempt, which had already occurred once before from the same location.
