A school student in West Bengal's Howrah district allegedly committed suicide by jumping to her death from the institution's roof after she was pulled up for chatting with her classmates during an examination Thursday.
The 11-year-old class 6 student of St Dominique Savio School was slapped by the teacher, who then took away her answer script and asked the girl to stand outside the classroom, according to a complaint filed by the victim's parents against the teacher and school headmaster.
The girl then went up to the roof and took the extreme step, the complaint said.
