The teachers had punished the girls again. According to the girl's relatives, the teachers even threatened her of not allowing her to take the board examination.

The police are questioning the teachers. A police officer said a case would be registered.

The girl was hospitalised on Friday from where she was transferred to a specialty hospital in Thiruvananthapuram.

Teacher's harrasements increasing. Should check teacehr's background properly before offering a job and at the same time should give counselling as a part of syllabus (not to study but to solve issues) to free students' worries.
