PMCH temporary police outpost in-charge Amit Kumar said that the mother had gone for a stroll on terrace late in the night when Ishika hanged herself inside her bedroom. “She had used her mother’s saree as noose and had tied it to ceiling fan for hanging. The mother along with neighbours brought Ishika down and rushed her to PMCH,” he said.
