Mariani, Oct 27: An eighth-grade student from Jangal Block High School in Mariani, Assam was found dead, hanging from a tree in her backyard, in a shocking incident that has raised concerns of teacher misconduct.
The student’s parents, Nelson Tuti and Geslina Tuti, allege that a school teacher’s harassment led to their daughter’s suicide.
