MYSORE, SEPT 21: An 18-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide greatly shaken by reports that her hero, star batsman Sachin Tendulkar, suffering from back pain, may not be able to play again, police said.

Deepa set herself ablaze at her aunt’s residence Monday night. In a suicide note, Deepa scribbled: “I love you Sachin, I love you Sachin. I was really sad on going through reports that you would never be able to play, and hence, I am taking this extreme step.”

Deepa was attending a computer institute and in her notebook the girl was reported to have poured her love for Sachin by scribbling his name.
