MP Rewa Student Suicide
A devastating tragedy has shaken the educational community in Madhya Pradesh, where a Class 11 student in Rewa died by suicide, leaving behind a harrowing handwritten note that explicitly blamed her actions on alleged sustained teacher harassment. The case, which has drawn urgent national attention, provides a stark reminder of the fragile state of student mental health and the critical need for absolute adherence to corporal punishment laws India.
The police investigation, launched immediately upon the recovery of the deceased student’s note, focuses on the detailed accusations against a school teacher. The note reportedly described specific instances of alleged abuse and humiliation that went far beyond acceptable disciplinary boundaries. The claims include the teacher allegedly using his hand to grab hers under the guise of punishment, forcing a pen between fingers with painful pressure, and making bizarre, intimate comments such as, “Look how cold my hand is.” The victim’s family, including her grandfather and father, have asserted that the relentless psychological and physical pressure encountered at school pushed their daughter toward this extreme, irreversible step.
