PUNE: A 12-year-old boy committed suicide after his father failed to buy him a bicycle on Saturday in Nigdi. 

The deceased was identified as Ishant Sharma, a resident of Siddhi Vinayak Nagar in Nigdi. The minor ended his life by hanging himself from the ceiling of his room.

According to the Dehu Road police, Ishant had asked for a bicycle from his father a few days ago. After promising him the bicycle, his father got busy with his work and forgot to buy the bicycle.
