Kolkata: A 17-year-old boy has allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the 24th floor of a 45-storeyed apartment on Anandapur Road on Monday morning.

According to sources, the boy was a student of class XII at a private school in the Park Circus area. On Monday around 9:30 am, residents of the tower V of the apartment heard a noise.

When the security guards went to check, they found the boy lying on the ground and bleeding profusely. He was rushed to Calcutta National Medical College and Hospital, where he was declared brought dead.

As per police, it is a case of suicide. Police said the boy came to live in Kolkata only a year and a half back from Mumbai. His father is a senior officer at a reputed private company.

Family members of the deceased were being questioned.
