Kolkata, Jun 23: Honouring the last wishes of a 14-year-old schoolgirl, the relatives, family and friends gave her an emotional farewell at the Baruipur crematorium near here. Krittika Paul had mentioned in the death note before and during the process of suffocation in a bid to kill herself "Give me a nice funeral. A NAICE one," 

One of her relatives said, "We have fond memories of Krittika. We cannot believe that she is no more. We had high hopes that she will do well in life as she was intelligent as well as compassionate." 

According to a police officer, Krittika had killed herself in a gruesome manner. "She had wrapped a polythene bag around her face and tucked its edges inside her shirt in order to suffocate herself. There were multiple slash injuries on her wrist but they were not life threatening," said the police officer. 

The most shocking find was the chilling, three-page death note written by Krittika, in which she has described minute by minute details as she suffocated herself to death. The hand writing on the death note is shaky and unsteady as the letter progresses, giving the indication that she was bleeding and suffocating. Police are of the opinion that the last page of the three page suicide note was written in the bathroom where she killed herself. 

In the first two pages of the suicide note written in exemplary English without a single cut or overwriting, Krittika says that she has not slept more many days and would sleep finally. It is also mentioned that she had nurtured the wish to die from the first standard. 

Police are also in confusion as to what caused this young girl to kill herself in such a gruesome manner. They took the statements of all the teachers of the school where Krittika studied. Police said that her laptop and mobile phone might carry more pieces of evidence as to the reason behind the suicide. They will also speak to her parents. 

"Krittika used to read a lot of books and spent hardly any time on the internet. However, when one sees the manner in which she has ended her life, there is a feeling that she might have got the clue from one of the several crime web series," opines a baffled police officer. 

Krittika has firmly written in her death note that no one is responsible for her death but herself. She says, "My mind is messy. What I write is not chronological. I hold myself and only myself responsible. I do not want police to bombard random people with random questions. Anyway, I was long battling this thought. Some people had the feeling that I cannot kill myself." 

It is learnt that the school, where Krittika studied had organized a felicitation ceremony for the class toppers on Friday and all those who were felicitated, including class ten topper, Krittika were in a jovial mood after the ceremony.
