12-year-old girl in Chhattisgarh allegedly hangs herself after being reprimanded by teacher; teacher arrested for abetment to suicide.
Upset over being reprimanded by her school teacher for skipping a class, a 12-year-old girl in Chhattisgarh’s Ambikapur allegedly hanged herself on Tuesday, February 6, 2024.
She left behind a note blaming the teacher for taking the extreme step based on which the police booked the teacher for abetment to suicide and subsequently arrested her, said Superintendent of Police (Ambikapur City) Smruthik Rajnala said.
In the note, the girl has written that the teacher had seized the students’ identity cards, as a result of which she feared parental involvement. Upon returning home from school on the same day, she complained of feeling unwell and later locked herself in her room.
As the victim didn’t respond to her phone calls, around 9.30 pm her mother tried hard to open the door which was locked from inside. On breaking the door, the girl was found dead.
The father of the deceased girl had narrated the incident to the journalists, but not to them, police said.
“She wrote on the suicide note please don’t give punishment to my friends,” the parent said and alleged that teachers at the school tortured the students.
