Flames rip through illegal warehouse in Burrabazar | Watch Taaza TV's report
A heartbreaking tragedy unfolded in Delhi on November 18 when a 16-year-old Class 10 student jumped to death from the platform at Rajendra Place Metro Station, leaving behind a suicide note that exposed alleged harassment by school teachers. The boy, whose father was away from home at the time, carried his school bag with him, inside which police found the handwritten note detailing months of mental torment over small issues like incomplete homework.
In the note, he expressed deep regret to his mother, saying, "I am sorry, mother, I broke your heart so many times, now I will break it for the last time," and begged for action against the teachers to save other students from similar pain.The note painted a picture of ignored pleas for help, with the family claiming they had repeatedly approached school authorities about the constant scolding and insults, but nothing changed. This led to severe stress in the boy's final weeks, pushing him to the edge.
Delhi Police quickly recovered the bag and note, and the father filed an FIR accusing the teachers of mental harassment. Now, an investigation is underway to verify the claims and bring those responsible to justice. In the aftermath, hundreds of angry students and their parents gathered outside the school in a massive protest, demanding the immediate suspension and punishment of the accused teachers. Protesters chanted slogans for better mental health support and an end to toxic classroom environments. This incident has reignited debates on student pressure in Delhi schools, urging authorities to create safer spaces where kids can learn without fear.
