**Two Teenagers Allegedly Commit Suicide at Ashram School in Palghar**

Palghar: Two teenage boys studying in an ashram school reportedly committed suicide by hanging themselves from a tree on the premises of their educational facility in Wada taluka, Maharashtra’s Palghar district, police said on Thursday.

**Incident Details**

The tragic incident occurred during the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday. According to officials, no suicide note was found at the scene, and the motive behind the extreme step is yet to be ascertained.

The victims, aged 14 and 15 years, were studying in Class 9 and Class 10, respectively. Senior Inspector Datta Kindre of Wada police station and Jawhar’s Deputy Superintendent of Police Sameer Maher informed PTI about the incident.

The case came to light early Thursday morning when authorities were informed. The bodies were subsequently taken to a government hospital for post-mortem examinations.

**Circumstances at the Scene**

The boys used nylon ropes—typically meant for drying clothes—to hang themselves from a tree located within the government-run ashram school premises in Ambiste village.

Examinations are currently underway at the school, and the victims hailed from Mokhada taluka, approximately 80 km away from the ashram school.

A case of accidental death has been registered, and investigations are ongoing to determine the exact circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
