The student’s parents, Nelson Tuti and Geslina Tuti, allege that a school teacher’s harassment led to their daughter’s suicide.

They claim the teacher had humiliated their daughter in front of her classmates on October 25, a day celebrated as Dashami.

The girl, unable to bear the humiliation, took her own life, said her grieving mother. The parents also revealed that they had previously lodged a complaint with the school principal against the accused teacher, but no action was taken.

Following the tragic event, an FIR has been filed against the teacher at the Mariani Police Station, with investigations currently underway.
