A particle is rotating in a conical pendulum with help of a string of length l$\ell$. The speed of the particle is constant and angle theta is also constant with time. Why isn't the net torque on the particle about the point of suspension 0? As the torque given by mg is 0 at the axis of rotation?

Conceptual problem in rotation

A particle is rotating in a conical pendulum with help of a string of length l. The speed of the particle is constant and angle theta is also constant with time. Why isn't the net torque on the particle about the point of suspension 0? As the torque given by mg is 0 at the axis of rotation?
