Investigation Reveals Disturbing Details in Delhi Student Suicide Case
Delhi Police is conducting a thorough investigation into the tragic suicide of a 16-year-old Class 10 student from a reputed school in central Delhi. The case has taken a serious turn as authorities examine CCTV footage that allegedly shows a teacher humiliating the teenager in front of other students, according to police statements.
Police Identify Key Witnesses and Examine Evidence
Investigators have identified five friends of the deceased student, including three classmates who have been named in the FIR filed by the boy's father. These witnesses are being questioned along with their families as part of the ongoing probe into the circumstances leading to the tragic incident.
Police officials revealed that the witnesses provided a consistent narrative about the events during the four days preceding the student's death. The group of friends reported feeling intimidated, routinely humiliated, and specifically targeted by certain staff members at the school.
CCTV Footage Corroborates Witness Accounts
The digital evidence appears to support the witnesses' statements. A police officer confirmed that CCTV footage shows a teacher "humiliating him in front of other kids" in one of the recordings being analyzed. This visual evidence has become crucial in understanding the pattern of alleged mistreatment that may have contributed to the mental health crisis leading to the suicide.
In response to the developing evidence, the school administration took decisive action on Thursday, suspending four staff members. The suspended employees face charges under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) sections 107 (abetment to suicide) and 3(5) (common intention).
