New Delhi, Mar 21: A class 9 student of a school in Delhi was found hanging in her house in Noida. The 15-year-old committed suicide after she failed in her class 9 exams.

The family has alleged that the teachers harassed and molested her.

The girl was taken to Kailash Hospital, Noida, where the doctors declared her dead. The teenager's parents have accused the teachers of deliberately failing her in two subjects and putting "too much pressure" on her.

According to the school authorities, the 15-year-old did not fail but was to appear in a re-test.

"She told me her SST teachers touched her inappropriately, I said since I'm also a teacher I can say they can't do it, might be a mistake but she said, I'm scared of them, no matter how well I write they'll fail me. Ultimately they failed her in SST. The school killed her", the teenager's father said.

However, Dharmendra Goel, principal of the school, has claimed that the girl was not molested. "No such incident happened, Kabhi bhi parents ne shikhayat nahi ki (the parents never complained)".

"This is a very unfortunate incident, we are in touch with the parents", the principal added.

Initially, an FIR was lodged against two male teachers for abetment of suicide under section 306 and 506 of the IPC. Now, the case has also been registered under POCSO as well.

Meanwhile, the police will be reaching the school to record statements of the students.

A doctor of Kailash Hospital, where the girl was taken after she was found hanging, said "15-year-old girl was brought to us, on arrival her pulse and blood pressure were un-recordable, we tried to revive her but couldn't. The cause of death can be known only after post-mortem."

Noida SP Arun Kumar Singh has said that the Investigating Officer (IO) went to the school early morning to investigate the matter. "This school is in Delhi, so we will look if any FIR was registered earlier in Delhi police station", Arun Kumar Singh said.

"The father did not give any information till late night, so the case is registered under IPC 306 and 506", he added.

In a latest update, the Investigating Officer of Noida police has been suspended for not mentioning Sections of molestation in the FIR.

A UP Police constable was also suspended because he did not include POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) in the FIR and only registered the case under Sections 306 and 506 of the IPC.

Khammam, Jun 29: In an outrageous incident, some youths beat up a monkey and strung it up on a tree to death while also releasing dogs to attack it in Ammapalem village in Telangana's Khammam district.

A video of the heinous incident of animal cruelty has surfaced on social media, in which the monkey is seen hanging by a rope from a tree, desperately flailing its limbs while a couple of dogs attempt to pounce on and torment the hapless simian. After a while, several men are seen in the video approaching the animal with long sticks.

Forest officials have charged one villager Venkateshwar Rao under Wildlife Protection Act along with the other accused and arrested them. They were released on bail on Saturday and are set to be summoned for questioning by forest officials.

Rao had spotted the monkey, which had entered his residence apparently in search of food and beat it with a stick and hung it from a tree with the help of his friend.

In the video of the incident, Rao could also be seen instructing his pet dogs to bite the monkey, which was fighting for its life.
