Agartala July 16: The teenager chose to commit suicide because he was proud of his mother. It is known that a 16-year-old boy named Sukanta Das was seriously injured after pouring kerosene on his body and setting himself on fire because he did not get money from his mother to go to PC’s house in Manu area on Saturday. Kishore’s mother said Sukanta asked her mother for 300 rupees to go to PC’s house in Gandhigram.
