Student attempts suicide after teachers call him a 'terrorist' in UP school

Lucknow: A class XII student of Delhi Public School, Kalyanpur in Kanpur district, attempted suicide after being repeatedly humiliated by school teachers and the principal, who had branded him a ‘terrorist’.

According to reports, the boy, who is a Muslim, was admitted earlier this week in a critical condition to a hospital after attempting suicide by consuming sleeping pills and phenyl at his Swaroop Nagar.

When the child regained consciousness, he said, “I am not a terrorist, only a student.” “My bag is searched every day and I am made to sit in the last row. If I ask anything, the teacher send me out. Because of this behavior, even other students do not talk to me,” he said.
