A major protest erupted in Delhi after a 16-year-old Class 10 student died by suicide at Rajendra Place Metro Station, leaving behind a note alleging persistent harassment by a school teacher. The student had left home for school on November 18 and was later found dead at the metro premises.
Police recovered his school bag containing a note that detailed claims of mistreatment at school. The discovery sparked outrage, with parents and students gathering outside the school to demand strict action and accountability from the administration.
Investigators are currently examining the suicide note and the claims mentioned in the FIR filed by the boy&rsquo;s father. Parents protesting outside the school alleged that certain teachers routinely intimidate students, creating an atmosphere of fear and emotional distress.
One parent stated that children often avoid speaking up about their problems due to fear of harsh reactions from teachers. A close friend of the boy said he had confided in her about repeated humiliation by a Drama Club teacher, which had left him emotionally overwhelmed and depressed.
The father&rsquo;s FIR mentions that his son had been under severe mental stress due to continuous reprimands and insults from teachers over minor issues. Despite raising verbal complaints with the school authorities, the family alleged that no corrective action was taken, leaving the boy increasingly distressed in his final weeks.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the student&rsquo;s death as public anger grows over the allegations of harassment and the school's handling of the situation.
