A 21-year-old girl in India’s Chhattisgarh attempted suicide after her parents scolded her for excessive mobile phone use.
The woman, identified as Saraswati Maurya, jumped into the Chitrakote Waterfalls, also known as the ‘Mini Niagara’. However, she tried to swim back to safety soon after she realised what she had done.
