Parents of a 16-year-old Class 10 student who allegedly died by suicide on Monday demanded strict action against those responsible, saying their son had been under severe mental stress due to alleged harassment by school teachers.
Speaking to ANI, the deceased's father said that his son had been complaining that the teachers were troubling him a lot.
"My son was very intelligent. He won many medals and certificates. And the last time I spoke to him, I never felt that he would take such a step. For the past four months, my son had been complaining that the teachers were troubling him a lot. At this moment, many students and parents are also protesting to seek justice for my son. We only want our son to get justice," he said.
The victim's mother also demanded justice and said that the culprits should be given the strictest punishment.
"My son must get justice, and the culprits in this case should be given the strictest punishment. He told me many times that the teachers were troubling him a lot. My son must get justice so that no other child has to face something like this in the future," the victim's mother told ANI.
The incident has sparked protests by students and parents in the national capital, who are demanding a thorough investigation and appropriate action against the teachers allegedly involved.
