Distressed by the harassment of teachers, a minor girl died

Bengaluru (IANS). Fed up with the alleged harassment by two teachers, a 16-year-old girl student committed suicide at Parvatipura in Karnataka’s Bengaluru Rural district. The police gave this information on Friday.

The deceased student was a resident of Parvatipura. She was a student of Millennium Public School.

Police said the girl was depressed after coming home from school on June 20. His parents noticed this, but ignored it. The girl had food and later went to her room. When she did not come out of the room for a long time and did not respond, the parents broke down the door and found her hanging from the ceiling fan.

Police said, though he was taken to a nursing home, doctors could not save him.

According to the police, the parents recently came to know about the torture and harassment by two teachers, Nalina and Qamar Taj, from her friends. Both the teachers are alleged to have often scolded and humiliated her over trivial matters.

A few days before the suicide, the girl was asked to do 100 sit-ups in front of the students in the class. Nalini scolded him in front of the class. She said that she did not want to see his face and he sat on the last bench. On the day Sara committed suicide, both the teachers called her to a separate room and while coming back, the students noticed that she was crying.

Sara was also allegedly harassed by teacher Qamar Taj’s son Hamin.

Hamin harasses her by making love proposals and forces her to have a relationship with him. He had told all his friends that he was in love with the girl and would marry her. He also threatened to teach her a lesson if she refused his offer.

The girl had told her friends that she did not want to live.

Police said, the parents have mentioned all the facts in the complaint.

Teacher Qamar Taj is missing since the complaint was lodged. Hosakote police have registered a case.
