Nilesh Gupta, a boy from Amboli committed suicide when he was not allowed to watch an IPL match. This was in response to the argument with his mother when she asked him to keep a check on the water tank outside but he refused to do so. Therefore, mother angrily switched off the TV.

As per the local police, Nilesh locked himself in a room and was found hanged when the room was opened. This came to notice when his mother was denied any response even when she called him several times.
