Bithi had been demanding red bangles and hair ribbons for Eid but her mother told her to wait until the mill pays her wage.

The girl, apparently upset with the refusal, chose to take her life, said her family.

"I promised to get her everything by Eid day. But who knew she would not wait!" said her mother Asma Begum.

Madhukhali police station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Rathindranath Tarafdar said the body was handed over to the family without an autopsy.
