NOWSHERA, Feb 22: A teenaged girl allegedly committed suicide, while a young man was killed over a family dispute in separate incidents here on Friday.

The police quoted Yar Mohammad, father of the girl, as saying that his daughter Sumera received a stray bullet inside the house and died instantly.
