A class 8 student of a private school died by suicide on Saturday by jumping from the school building after being “reprimanded” and “slapped” by a teacher, police said.
The incident occurred at around 9.30 am when the Physical Education teacher allegedly rebuked the 14-year-old boy in front of other students. Police said this came after the boy reportedly “turned the direction” of a CCTV camera.
The student was rushed to a hospital where he was declared dead, police said. Some students told the media that the teacher had slapped the boy. A note, purportedly written by the boy, apologising to his mother for “ending his life” was found in his book, police said.
A case has been registered on charges of abetment to suicide and further investigation is underway, police said.
