HYDERABAD: A 17-year-old girl committed suicide by setting herself afire in her house near Barkatpura post-office area on Wednesday.

When they ran inside, Shabana was found engulfed in flames. She was rushed to a nearby hospital where the doctors declared her brought dead. Reasons for the suicide were not yet known.
