Kochi: A 17-year-old rape victim was found dead in her house in Karur in Tamil Nadu on Friday.
The police suspect it to be a case of suicide as they have recovered a note believed to be written by the Plus Two student, media reports said.
After returning from school, the girl straightaway went to her room and closed the doors. On not opening the doors for long time, she called the police who found her body hanging and recovered her letter.
The letter said that she was ending her life as she was scared of revealing the identity of the accused, the reports said.
She sought apologies for taking the extreme step. She said she loved her family.
Her father passed away a couple of years back and she was living with her mother.
