A petition has been filed before the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court seeking a CB-CID probe into the death by suicide of a schoolgirl, who was staying in a hostel run by a Christian missionary organisation in Thanjavur district.
It was alleged before Justice G.R. Swaminathan that the girl’s parents and a person, who shot a video of the girl in which she claimed she was being coerced to convert to Christianity, were being “pressured by the police”. (The girl had initially alleged that she was being forced to do domestic chores at the hostel.)

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
