A 14-year-old boy allegedly died by committing suicide in Mumbai after a disagreement with his mother, who is an actor and worked in popular Hindi and Gujarati TV shows, media reports said.
As per reports, the disagreement happened over attending tuition classes, police said on Thursday.
The family lives on the 51st floor of the Brooke building in Kandivali.
The boy walked down a couple of floors and then jumped to his death on Wednesday.
