A Class X student of a government school in Hyderabad attempted suicide by jumping off the second floor of the school building at Palamakula in Shamshabad Mandal in Rangareddy district.

The victim, Renuka is studying in the Palamakula Kasturba Residential Government School and was allegedly harassed by her Mathematics teacher repeatedly.

While the incident took place four days back but has come to light recently. She was taken to a private hospital by the school authorities immediately and her condition is said to be stable.

Speaking to ANI, she said, “My Maths teacher used to demoralize me every day as I once failed in this subject. She would continuously shout at me and would tell everyone that I’d never reach my goal in my life. She would never miss a day in scolding me in front of others. On being fed up and irritated, I took this decision.”

The girl’s parents and student organizations are demanding the government to take stern action against the accused.
