A 16-year-old Class 10 student from a prominent Delhi school died by suicide on Tuesday, leaving behind a disturbing note accusing his teachers and headmistress of prolonged harassment. The teenager jumped from an elevated metro station in West Delhi, sparking a probe by the Directorate of Education into allegations of 'targeted harassment'. According to friends and family, the boy faced months of mistreatment, which the school had ignored despite warning signs. Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage from the school and metro station, as well as recording statements from multiple students. The student's father revealed that his son had confided in the school counselor about suicidal thoughts, but was dismissed. A classmate corroborated the note's claims, stating the boy was 'indeed being bullied' by teachers. The school has suspended three staff members and the headmistress, and a five-member committee will submit its report within three days. The incident has raised concerns about the school's handling of student welfare and bullying. Students alleged that parents are called over minor issues, and teachers use abusive language in class. The 16-year-old's father had been called to the school three months ago regarding a minor issue, emphasizing the need for improved student support. CCTV footage shows the boy guiding a woman on the metro platform before the incident, highlighting his kind nature. The probe into the incident is ongoing, and authorities are urging anyone struggling with mental health issues to seek help from nearby specialists or helplines.
