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.
The kidnapped schoolboy was rescued by the police and reunited with his parents. Son of a gift shop owner from Basavanagudi area in Bengaluru, Chirag has reportedly told police that decided to make some quick money to spend on cricket betting and gambling after learning kidnap tricks from the ‘Crime Patrol’. According to police, Chirag reached a private school around 3pm on Tuesday on a Bounce rental bike and zeroed in on a fourth standard student who was walking out of school. He told the boy he was his father's friend and that he required help to search for a relative who had gone missing. The boy believed Chirag and rode pillion on the bike. Chirag then engaged the boy in conversation and learnt about his father's business and got his mobile phone number. He then made a call to the boy's father, demanded Rs 5 lakh and warned him against approaching cops. However, the boy's father alerted Cottonpet police and special teams were formed to crack the case. While Cottonpet inspector Venkatesh TC's squad verified CCTV footage in and around the school, Chamarajpet inspector BG Kumaraswamy's team started tracking the suspect's mobile phone movements. An hour later, the suspect's location was traced to a hotel on the Lavelle Road-St Mark's Road stretch. Police rushed there, rescued the boy and arrested Chirag.

Should punish both friends and school authorities including teachers.
So sad.. RIP
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.
Punish that teacher properly.
