PETALING JAYA – Police have refuted claims that the handphone belonging to a teacher, said to have been stolen by a 14-year-old girl who succumbed to injuries after attempting suicide, has been found.
“The phone was never recovered,” said South Seberang Prai OCPD Supt Shafee Abdul Samad on Friday (Feb 2) following viral claims on social media and messaging apps that the handphone had been found at a food stall.
On Jan 24, M. Vasanthapiriya locked herself in her room and tried to hang herself with a shawl at home after she was accused of stealing her teacher’s handphone in school.
Vasanthapiriya’s 52-year-old father R.Muniandy returned home later that night after meeting with her teacher.
He broke into Vasanthapiriya’s room when his calls went unanswered and found her unconscious and hanging from an air-conditioning piping.
She left a note to her parents saying she did not steal the phone.
She was rushed to the Sungai Bakap Hospital for treatment before transferred to Seberang Jaya Hospital where she passed away on Thursday (Feb 1).
Vasanthapiriya was laid to rest on Friday in an Indian cemetery in Changkat.
