Class 7 Welfare School Student Dies After Suicide Attempt

The girl, a native of Gangaram in Chennur mandal, reportedly attempted suicide on the night of March 25.

Hostel staff noticed her struggling and shifted her to a local government hospital before referring her to the district hospital as her condition worsened.

Her father, Ramesh, lodged a complaint with Chennur police, alleging that harassment by teachers led to the incident. Police registered a case and said an investigation is under way.

The girl’s parents and relatives staged a dharna in front of the government hospital, demanding ₹50 lakh compensation and a government job for a family member.
