Kollam, Oct 23: A 15-year-old girl, who had jumped off the third floor of her school building in Kollam district of Kerala over alleged harassment on Friday, died at a private hospital on Monday.

The girl, a class 10 student of the ICSE school Trinity Lyceum, jumped from the building after her teachers allegedly scolded her.

The girl had objected to her younger sibling, studying in the same school, being punished by teachers for talking in the class.

Her sister was reportedly made to sit with boys. She had questioned the punishment and got into an argument with the teachers.

The girl's parents met the school authorities and threatened to file a complaint against the teachers, but they assured them that this would not happen again.

Later, when both the sisters were mocked and teased by their friends, they entered into a verbal spat.

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 girl's father told police that his daughter jumped from the building as she was mentally harassed by the teachers.

Police have booked a case against two teachers on charges of abetment of suicide.

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.

Mangaluru, Aug 7: A woman suffered critical injuries after a speeding car knocked down her scooter and then ran over her at Kadri Kambla Junction in the city today.

The woman identified as Vanishri Bhat (22) a resident of Kedila from Puttur. 

A CCTV footage of the accident, which went viral on social media, shows the car hitting the scooter, pushing the woman on road for a couple of meters before climbing over her.

The car stopped when she was under it. A few people including a policeman lifted the car from the front and rescued the woman. 

She was immediately taken to a private hospital in Mangaluru City MLA U T Khader’s car which was passing through that way. 

She has suffered critical injuries on her head, ribs, hands and legs, sources said. She is reportedly responding to treatment. 

It may be recalled that in December last year a lorry-auto accident at the same spot claimed life of a 56-year-old teacher while the auto driver miraculously survived. Following the accident, speed breakers were installed at the junction.

Belagavi, Mar 16: Despite issuing an order banning large gathering, including lavish weddings, Karnataka Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa attended the grand marriage celebrations of the daughter of BJP MLC Mahantesh Kavatagimath in Belagavi on Sunday.

The Chief Minister had advised people to postpone weddings till the COVID-19 scare passed off, or to restrict the number of guests to around 100. But the wedding on the lawns of Shagun gardens in the Udyambag industrial area in Belagavi had many more times the number of visitors.

A police officer on duty at the venue estimated the crowd to be over 3,000.

The large gathering was in clear defiance of the government order and the Chief Minister’s appeal. But Mr. Yediyurappa’s presence seems to have vindicated this act.

Hundreds of cars were parked on both sides of the Khanapur road, outside the venue which was decorated with flowers, buntings, rolls of paper and colourful cloth. Two huge banners about preventing the spread of COVID-19 have been put up at the venue. There are wash basins at two ends and several hand sanitiser counters across the ground.

Apart from Union Minister of State for Railways Suresh Angadi, and ministers Srimanth Patil and MLA Mahesh Kumthalli, there were several leaders from the BJP, the Congress and the JD(S) who attended the marriage. There were some officers from the city corporation and district administration among the guests.

The Chief Minister arrived around 11 a.m. and stayed for nearly an hour at the venue. He left after wishing the couple and greeting some leaders.

On his arrival, at the Sambra airport, Mr. Yediyurappa said the State was well-equipped to handle the spread of the infection. “Over one lakh have been tested. Among the 100 suspected cases, the virus was detected only in six persons. One person has died. But otherwise the situation is under control. Officers are working round the clock,’’ he said.
