‘Made to stand for 4 hours’: Faridabad teen ‘dies by suicide’ at school
A 16-year-old student from Faridabad’s NIT area allegedly took her own life by jumping from the third-floor terrace of a private school on Tuesday afternoon. The family claims she was subjected to punishment, standing outside her classroom for about four hours, as punishment for a dispute among students earlier in the day. School officials have denied these allegations, stating the student sought permission to use the restroom and was accompanied by a female staff member before jumping from the terrace.
The student, who was in Class XI, was rushed to a local healthcare facility and later to the district civil hospital, where doctors declared her dead upon arrival due to injuries sustained in the fall. Her father expressed deep distress over the unfair treatment, noting she had been doing well in her studies and that her behavior was normal when she left for school.
The school authorities are cooperating with the ongoing investigation and have requested a post-mortem examination to be conducted by the family.
