Delhi Police has intensified its investigation into the tragic death of a Class X student from a private school, who died by suicide at the Rajendra Nagar Metro station on November 18. Authorities recorded the official statements of the boy's parents on Tuesday, as the probe moves forward.
Parents Reiterate Allegations of Harassment
According to police sources, the grieving parents firmly reiterated their claim that their son was subjected to persistent harassment by his teachers. All four accused teachers were explicitly named in the suicide note left by the boy. The father, in his statement, provided harrowing details, alleging that one teacher routinely threatened the child, warning that she would call his parents and have a transfer certificate issued against him.
He further claimed that the same teacher physically pushed the student, an act that compounded the boy's mental distress. As part of their comprehensive investigation, the police have also interacted with at least one other student from the school to gather more perspectives on the case.
Legal Actions and Police Proceedings
In a significant development, the boy's father revealed that he has filed a writ petition before the Delhi High Court. The petition seeks urgent judicial intervention to examine the circumstances that led to his son's extreme step. On the ground, the police have already questioned all four teachers named in the note and have registered a First Information Report (FIR).
The FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) pertaining to abetment of suicide and common intention. Following the serious allegations, the management of the private school took immediate action and suspended all four teachers pending the outcome of the investigation.
Community Impact and Ongoing Investigation
This incident has sent shockwaves through the local community and has once again brought the critical issue of student mental health and institutional accountability to the forefront. The case, stemming from the events at Rajendra Nagar Metro station, underscores the severe consequences of alleged academic pressure and harassment. Delhi Police continues its probe, piecing together the final days of the Class X student to establish a clear sequence of events and determine liability.
The tragic loss highlights the urgent need for robust systems within educational institutions to identify and address student distress. The outcome of the police investigation and the High Court petition will be closely watched, as they hold the potential to set a precedent for how such sensitive cases are handled in the future.
