Family members of a 17-year-old student who allegedly committed suicide and activists of Hindu organisations held a protest in Tonk on Friday, demanding the arrest of those accused of abetting the suicide of a boy by pressuring him for religious conversion.
The protesters gathered under the banner of Sarv Hindu Samaj at Ghantaghar Chowk, raised slogans, burnt tyres and held a demonstration, leading to traffic disruption in the area.
The Class 12 student was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his house on Thursday morning. He was living with his mother and younger brother in Tonk for the last five years in a rented accommodation.
His mother alleged that he was being forced by a Muslim girl and his family members to convert and he died by suicide under pressure.
In her complaint, she alleged that her son was under mental stress due to a love affair with the girl who was forcing him to convert to Islam.
